It is commonly know that freshly cut fruits turn a brownish color when exposed to the air for a number of minutes (see below). This is due to the action of the enzyme polyphenol oxidase. It is also well known that the formation of the brown color can be prevented or slowed by chilling the fruit, boiling it, or rubbing it with lemon juice (which contains ascorbic acid).
