Question

Do human beings undergo enzymatic browning? How and what happens?

Answer 1

Fresh fruit and vegetables normally keep enzymestrapped in their tissues. However when the fruit is sliced, or squashed, or when the fruit or vegetable begins to break down with age, theenzymes come into contact with oxygen in the air. This causes the fruit to turnbrown.

Hope it helps!!

Answer 2

The answer is "NO"

Enzymatic browning occurs when specific pigment in fruits, vegetables and plants react with oxygen and cause oxidation. In fruits, Browning occurs when enzymes react with amino acids and produce brown pigment on the surface whereas in human beings, this process does not occur.

In human body, most of the enzymes are present in inactive form and they always need a stimulation to get active. In inactive form, enzymes do not react with the human body as well.
