There is a high amount of acid in lime juice and the part of the apple that makes it turn brown(enzyme) when exposed to oxygen, has an edible effect on the enzyme to protect it from browning
citric juice causes a chemical reaction with the apples... it preserves them just like cold would do
The lime is sour and keeps the apple from turning brown.

All you have to do is keep them in a plastic bag with a tiny bit of air in it and put in the fridge. But eat them soon! Also coating them with lemon juice will prevent them going brown ^^^The air is what turns them brown, so that will not work. Lemon juice or orange juice will, though. It is the acid in the juice that prevents them from oxidizing and turning brown.

Type your answer here... It should keep it from oxidizing and turning brown. A small amount of lemon juice and water will do the same thing.
well it doesn't really turn it brown it actually speeds up the proses of them turning brown even though vinegar is an acid it doesn't stop it from turning apples brown it speeds it up believe that it is a chemical in the apple and a chemical in the vinegar that interacts very bad.and the vinegars chemicals usually wins that's why vinegar speeds up the proses not slow it down
If you are working with fresh fruit and would like to keep it from turning brown, place it in an acidic water bath. That is one-quarter cup of apple cider vinegar or one-quarter cup of lemon juice per quart of water. Mix it together, and as you are slicing your fruit, add it to the water bath. It will keep everything from turning brown.
Use lemon juice.
Not right away keep them in their juice. Lemons juice keeps bananas from turning brown. I thelps if you cut with a stainless steel knife. If laid out keep moist paper towel over them.
