“…A common approach for preventing enzymatic browning is the use of anti-browning agents (Arslan & Dogan, 2005). Chemical additives, such as sulfites in any of their forms (sulfur dioxide, sodium or potassium metabisulfite, sodium or potassium bisulfite), acidifiers (citric, malic and phosphoric acids), chelators (EDTA), reducing agents (ascorbic acid, alone or in combination), calcium ascorbate, and cysteine, have been used for controlling browning in fruits and vegetables (Abbott, Saftner, Gross, Vinyard, & Janick, 2004;Bhagwat, Saftner, & Abbott, 2004;Fayad, Marchal, Billaud, & Nicolas, 1997;Karaibrahimoglu, Fan, Sapers, & Sokorai, 2004). Some new types of anti-browning agents have also been reported for the control of PPO activities in recent years, such as dipeptides (Girelli, Mattei, Messina, & Tarola, 2004), 2, 3-diaminopropionic acid (Arslan & Dogan, 2005), and glutamic acid (Dogan, Turan, Dogan, Alkan, & Arslan, 2007).…”
