Fruits such as apples and pears will rot if exposed to certain fungi. These fungi are relatively weak but can attack damaged or overly ripened fruit. When fruits such as apples ripen, they give off a gas called ethylene. Ethylene gas accelerates the ripening process, which will lead to over ripening. Taking certain precautions to prevent exposure to fungi and over ripening will prevent the rotting of the fruit. Washing the fruit in lemon juice and/or storing the fruit in airtight containers and removing rotting fruit are examples of ways to prevent rotting

What dissolve first in Apple Juice salt or sugar?

It isn't really a matter of what would dissolve first, as it is which dissolves faster. Both would dissolve at the same time, but the sugar would dissolve faster, and in higher quantities. Sugar has a solubility of 211.5 g/100 mL of water where salt only is ~37 g/ 100 mL. Sugar still dissolves faster even though apple juice has 10.8 g of sugar per 100 mL, since the solubility is as high as it is, sugar would dissolve first.
