How to prevent peeled fruit or vegetables turning brown
Most fruits turn brown soon after peeling due to oxydation, and this is unattractive.
To prevent this, you will find many recipes that tell you to coat them with lemon juice as soon as they are peeled. It's relatively effective when fruit are simply to be used peeled, but if you want to make a coulis or a sorbet for example, this is no longer sufficient.

To improve this technique, it is necessary to ask a chemist, and who better than Herve THIS on the subject. He explains that it's the Vitamin C in the lemon juice which prevents the fruit from browning, and not its acidity. So to prevent fruit from browning at all it suffices to add a pinch of Vitamine C.
