How to keep apple slices from browning

Apples turn  brown after slicing them because the enzymes in the apple reacts with oxygen. This process is called oxidation.

There are different effective methods to prevent this oxidation process. You can choose any one of them.

1) Rub juice of a lemon onto the exposed flesh of the apple. This will give the apple lemony taste.

2) Mix 1 teaspoon of lemon juice in 1 cup of cold water  in a bowl and then soak the apple slices in it.

3) Soak apple slices in a bowl of carbonated soda or 7-up or sprint.

4) Soak the apple pieces in pineapple juice.

5) Mix apple cedar and lemon juice in a bowl and soak apple pieces in it.

6) Another method is to cover the apple slices in a plastic wrap thereby preventing apple flesh from oxidizing because plastic wrap keeps air away from the apple flesh.

You can use above methods to prevent other fruits from browning too.
