What is the effect of vinegar on browning of apples?

The vinegar will cause more browning on a red apple rather than a green apple because i did it for my science fair! and that was the results.


How does water affect the browning of apples if you do not keep them submerged?

Water can slow down the browning of apples by creating a barrier that limits the exposure of the fruit to oxygen, which is necessary for the enzymatic reaction that leads to browning. However, if apples are not kept submerged, they will still be exposed to air, allowing oxidation to occur. Additionally, moisture on the surface may help reduce browning temporarily, but without complete submersion, the apples will eventually brown due to oxygen contact. To minimize browning effectively, it's best to combine water immersion with other methods, such as adding lemon juice or using airtight containers.


What effect will phenolase normally have on apples?

Phenolase, also known as polyphenol oxidase, typically causes browning in apples when they are exposed to air. This enzyme catalyzes the oxidation of phenolic compounds to quinones, which then polymerize to form brown pigments. This browning reaction can affect the visual appeal and perceived freshness of the apples, but it does not significantly alter their taste or nutritional value.


Can you refrigerate apples and pears overnight without them turning brown and would you add water?

If you put lemon juice in the water it will prevent the browning.


Does salt water or lemon juice have any effect on the rate of dehyddration of different types of apples?

Salt water can accelerate the dehydration process of apples due to osmosis, while lemon juice might help slow down dehydration by providing a protective layer of acidity that helps prevent browning. Both can potentially affect the rate of dehydration in different ways.


How sugar affect the browning of apples?

Browning of apples is due to the creation of brown pigments through enzymatic polymerization of polyphenolic (normally colorless) apple compounds.

Why does salt prevent apples from browning?

Salt prevents apples from browning because it inhibits the enzyme responsible for the oxidation process that causes the browning reaction. This enzyme, called polyphenol oxidase, requires oxygen to function, and salt helps block this reaction by reducing the oxygen available.


Does saltwater or lemonjuice have any effect on the rate of dehydration of different types of apples?

Both saltwater and lemon juice can slow down the rate of dehydration in apples. Saltwater creates a hypertonic solution that reduces water loss from the apple cells, while the acidity in lemon juice can help preserve the apple by inhibiting enzymatic browning and dehydration.


Why does sugar keep cut apples from browning?

Browning is polyphenol oxidase (PPO) react with oxygen which form "Rust" Coating freshly cut apples in sugar can reduce oxygen diffusion and thus slow the browning reaction.
