Why Do Apples Turn Brown After Cutting?

Why Do Apples Turn Brown After Cutting?

切开的苹果为什么会变褐色?

  1. Apple flesh contains a chemical called polyphenol.
  2. Air has oxygen that reacts with this chemical.
  3. A natural enzyme speeds up the reaction.
  4. The result is a brown pigment called melanin.
  5. This is oxidation—not rot or danger.
  6. Lemon juice stops browning because it is acidic.
  7. Cold water or salt water also slows the change.
  8. Packaged apples often use vitamin C spray to stay fresh.
