1. Add lemon or VC: Add lemon juice or VC slices to the squeezed apple juice. This is because lemon contains citric acid, which is a natural antioxidant, which can delay the oxidation of apple juice, while VC has reducibility, which can reduce oxidation substances and maintain the original color of apple juice for a long time.
2. Soak in salt water before juicing: After the apple is cut, soak in salt water for a while before juicing. Salt water can prevent air from entering the apple and reduce the chance of oxidative discoloration of the apple.
Does apple juice change color when it is oxidized? It will change color.
Oxidase is the main cause of apple discoloration. This substance is usually wrapped in the peel and is well isolated from the air, so it will not react. However, when squeezing juice, the apple is cut and ground, so that the oxidase in it is released, and it will start to oxidize after contacting with air, so that the juice will slowly turn brown. As time goes on, the browning will be more serious and the color will be deeper.
Can apple juice be drunk after oxidation? Yes
Apple juice becomes darker after oxidation, but it does not deteriorate. It only oxidizes ferrous ions into iron ions, and other nutrients will not be lost too much, but the taste will become worse and it can be drunk. However, it is recommended to drink as much apple juice as possible, so as to have a better taste.
How to squeeze apple juice to taste good 1? Add honey and milk: Apple itself contains some sugar, but it may not be sweet enough after being squeezed into juice, and its taste is monotonous. Adding honey and milk can increase the sweetness and consistency of apples and make apple juice taste better.
2. Add favorite fruit: The taste of a single apple juice will be monotonous. Adding other favorite fruits can enrich the taste level of the juice and add more nutrients.
