Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Above 35°C, 4‐hexylresorcinol had minimal inhibition of apple slice browning.
- Observation The activation energy for apple slice browning was 5–20 kcal/mol.
- Intervention effect Anti-browning treatment did not affect the activation energy of apple slice browning.
- Intervention effect 4‐hexylresorcinol delayed browning induction time in apple slices.
- Intervention effect Sulfite delayed browning induction time in apple slices.
