    Lemon juice was the most effective at preventing browning in apple slices over a period of 2 hours. The apple slices treated with lemon juice maintained a red color while the untreated control sample and samples treated with other methods like water or refrigeration showed increasing brown discoloration over time. The lemon juice treated slices remained firm with only a slight yellowing observed after 2 hours while the other samples softened and browned more significantly.
