Discoloration in fruits and vegetables, especially browning, happens due to enzymatic reactions when cells are damaged by cutting, bruising, or peeling. The enzyme polyphenol oxidase (PPO) reacts with oxygen, causing browning. To prevent this, you can use acidic substances like lemon juice, blanch the produce, store it in cold conditions, reduce oxygen exposure with airtight containers, apply antioxidants like ascorbic acid, immerse it in water, or use a mild salt solution.
