Explanation:

HEY MATE ..

Browning in fruits and vegetables is caused mainly by the enzyme PPO, which in the presence of oxygen catalyzes the oxidation of o-diphenols to o-quinones. Brown pigments are produced by the polymerization of o-quinones. Ascorbic acid, citric acid, sodium chlorite, and chelating agents are commonly used PPO inhibitors added to foods to prevent browning. Ascorbic acid, acting as a reducing agent and a competitive enzymatic inhibitor, reduces o-quinones back to o-diphenols preventing the formation of brown pigments.
