How do you keep apricots from browning?

Apricots will turn brown when exposed to air, even air in a sealed, sterile jar. To keep the fruit from turning brown, when you get a bowlful, sprinkle 1/4 cup lemon juice or Fruit-Fresh (which is just a mix of citric acid and vitamin C, perfectly natural).

How does the dipping pretreatment prevent browning?

Dipping is a pretreatment used to prevent fruits such as apples, bananas, peaches, and pears from oxidizing. Oxidation is the process that causes fruits to turn brown and lose some vitamins A and C when exposed to the oxygen in air.

Does lemon juice stop avocado from browning?

How do you keep mashed avocado from browning?

Simply squeezing a small amount of fresh citrus juice over your avocado or guacamole will keep the avocado from browning for at least a day. Many guacamole recipes include a small amount of lime juice, which will also help slow browning once mixed in.
