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.


Why does baking soda turn apples brown?

Baking soda has a higher pH level, which can accelerate the browning process in apples by increasing the rate of enzymatic browning reactions. Enzymatic browning occurs when the enzyme polyphenol oxidase reacts with oxygen in the air to produce brown pigments in the apple flesh.


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.

I have noticed lately that apples aren't going brown when cut and left out are they adding something to apples now to prevent them browning?

Certain varieties of apples have more of a tendency than others to turn brown when cut. Some agriculturists have worked on select breeding for a less-browning characteristic. Also, storage apples will brown quicker than fresh apples. Right now, you should be getting fresh apples in the stores.If you are referring to purchased cut apples, there are preparations - like lemon juice and sulfites - that will reduce browning.


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.


What preserves an apple the best salt Fruit Fresh produce preserver or lemon juice?

Lemon juice is typically a better option for preserving apples due to its acidic properties which can help prevent browning. Fruit Fresh produce preserver may also work well, but lemon juice is a more natural and widely-used method for preserving the freshness of apples.


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.


How does fruit fresh on apples help it from browning?

No because no


Does freezing apples prevent them from turning brown?

Only freezing apples will not keep them from browning. However, if you want to freeze them, there are a few ways of keeping them from browning while they sit in the freezer. You can dip apple slices in a solution of 1/2 teaspoon of ascorbic acid to 3 tablespoons of cold water, soak them in a solution of 2 tablespoons of salt and 1 gallon of water, or steam-blanch them for 1 1/2 minutes and cool them in ice water before freezing.


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.


Can you slice apples and soak them to keep them from browning since you won't be making the dessert for a couple of hours?

A small amount of lemon juice dashed over cut apples will keep them from browning.
