Abstract: The effects of different inhibitors on PPO activity,browning degree and quality of appearance of fresh-cut apples were studied.The results showed that the effects of 1.5% Cys,1.0% sodium D-isoascorbate,and 1.0% GSH on browning inhibition of fresh-cut apples during storage period are optimum among the single browning inhibitors.The optimum combination treatment is 0.10% sodium D-isoascorbate+0.12% GSH+0.13% Cys,and the optimum time for the fresh-cut apple slices dipping in the solution is 2min,which can keep the PPO activity,the browning degree and the quality of appearance in super level within 14d.
