Question: What will keep the apple from turning brown?

Hypothesis: Dipping the apple slices in different types of liquid will slow down the
browning or oxidation process.

Conclusion: I therefore conclude upon my observation during this experiment that both
milk and lemon proves that it can slow down the oxidation process of an apple. However, on
the other hand water and specially soda accelerated the oxidation process of the apple.
