Using salted water (brine) to dip apples in keeps them white by retarding the oxidation of the surface of the fruit. Lemon water (acid based) also does the same thing. Neither will affect the taste of the apples if used in the correct proportions.

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.

Can land snails survive in water, and if so, for how long?

Land snails cannot survive in water for extended periods of time. While they may be able to survive brief periods of submersion, prolonged exposure to water can lead to drowning and death. It is important to ensure that land snails have access to a moist environment to prevent dehydration, but they should not be submerged in water.
