How do you keep apples from browning?

Answer 1

Don't expose them to oxygen. keep the skin on them. if you happen to bite into one or cut one up but want to save the rest for later. use a air tight container and refridgerate them. apples tend to decay once exposed to oxygen. the inside of them that is. <P>If you mean when you take a slice and the rest get dark (inside of the apple). A way to prevent this from happening is to put the apple in a container like a bowl with water and salt.<STRONG> You don't have to use to much salt at all.</STRONG> But this will keep the apple with good flavor and natural appearance inside. READY TO GET EATEN!!!!</P>

Answer 2

put it in some salted water then dry off before packing in container or bag......I used to use lemon juice but my kids didn't like the tart taste. You can't taste the salty water on the apples and this works wonderfully :)

Answer 3

I have used the juice from pineapple chunks and the apple slices do not turn brown. Buy fresh apples for starters; second, keep them refrigerated. You are talking about apples that have been peeled or cut.

Any cut apple will eventually turn brown on the surface, if exposed to oxygen long enough, but there are a few ways to delay the action.

Cooking them will prevent it, for the most part. For fresh apples, squeezing a bit of lemon juice over them and sealing them (with as little air as possible) in a plastic bag helps, also.

Another option is to sprinkle them with a powder of ascorbic acid (Vitamin C). One brand name of the powdered form of ascorbic acid is Fruit Fresh®. It acts as an anti-oxidant, and is available in many grocery stores.

Cooking or freezing apples changes their texture, but keeps them from turning brown.

I think the best way to keep them from turning brown, is to eat them before they do. Apple juice can delay the browning effect of cut apples, but is not as effective as citrus fruit juices or Vitamin C.

Answer 4

wet it

or

You can use a little bit of lemon juice or a little bit of a clear soft drink, such as Sprite or 7-UP to preserve the color of your fruit. The citric acid is what keeps the apple from turning brown. You can also buy a product called "fruit fresh" in the grocery store, which is a powder you can sprinkle on fresh fruit, but why spend extra money when you don't need to
