How does fruit react to oxygen?

Oxygen in the air can cause sliced fruit to brown, a process called enzymic browning (an oxidation reaction). Phenols and the enzyme phenolase are found in the cells of the apple, and when these are exposed to oxygen in the air, for example through slicing, the oxygen causes a reaction.

Nothing will delay it, but drinking some lemon (squeeze 3) would cut it, making it last a few days, but its not good to do that. won't hurt you but the next month will be more cramps.. take some advils with you on the trip
