How to prevent pear juice from discoloring

2. When squeezing pear juice, you can add some lemon cubes or lemon juice to the juicer. This can increase the antioxidant properties of pear juice and prevent discoloration.

3. After squeezing the pear juice, add a vitamin C tablet, cover it tightly, and store it in the refrigerator. The leaves can prevent discoloration.
