Here are 5 tips to keep apples from turning brown:
1. **Lemon Juice**: After chopping, soak apples in cold water with a few teaspoons of lemon juice for 2-3 minutes. Lemon’s citric acid prevents browning.
2. **Salted Water**: Soak peeled apple pieces in diluted salt water for 5-10 minutes. Salt breaks down enzymes and helps preserve the apple’s color.
3. **Carbonated Water**: Soak apples in carbonated drinks like soda or ginger beer for 3-5 minutes. The citric acid helps prevent oxidation, but rinse afterward to remove the flavor.
4. **Plastic Wrap**: Wrap peeled apples in plastic wrap to limit exposure to air. Be sure it’s tightly sealed to avoid oxidation.
5. **Fruit Preservation Powder**: Sprinkle fruit preservation powder (containing citric and ascorbic acid) over apple slices to keep them from browning for up to 8 hours.
