What are the effects of ascorbic acid and citric acid in browning food?
Covering the food with citric acid prevents browning because the acid reduced the pH below the optimum level for the enzyme (polyphenoloxidase) to catalyze the oxidative enzymatic browning reaction. Covering the food in ascorbic acid also prevents browning because ascorbic acid is an antioxidant which interferes with the browning reaction by preventing the intermediate products from being converted into melanins (the brown pigment).

Yes, it retards and even avoids the oxidation process in apples, pears, bananas and potatoes. Lemon and lime are the most common acids, but any citrus juice like orange and grapefruit works too.Adding acid (or salt) prevents the maillard/browning reaction.
How does pH affects the rate of browning?
The lower the pH, the more acidic a substance is. Citric acid is used to prevent apples from browning once they are cut. Therefore, an acid, low pH prevents browning. This is done by keeping oxygen from reacting with the apple with the barrier created by the citric acid.
