Study Notes
Fruit Browning
- Browning is the process of becoming brown, particularly in food.
- Browning can be desirable (caramelization) or undesirable (e.g., an apple turning brown after being cut).
- Browning occurs during food pre-preparation, processing, and storage.
- Browning colors can range from cream/pale yellow to dark brown/black, depending on the food and the reaction extent.
- Desirable browning contributes to food's aroma, flavor, and color (e.g., bread crust, potato chips).
Types of Browning
A. Enzymatic Browning (Oxidative Browning)
- A chemical process involving enzymes (polyphenol oxidase, catechol oxidase).
- Creates melanin and benzoquinone from phenols, resulting in a brown color.
- Caused by oxidation reactions with exposure to oxygen.
- Disruption of cellular organization (e.g., cutting, bruising) releases enzymes, which oxidize phenolic compounds.
- Light-colored fruits and vegetables darken when exposed to air due to oxidative enzymes.
- Examples: apples, bananas, pears, brinjals, and potatoes.
B. Non-Enzymatic Browning
- A chemical process that produces brown color in food without enzyme activity.
- Two forms: caramelization and Maillard reaction.
- Caramelization: Sugar heating (160°C) in the absence of water and amino acids produces compounds through intense heat resulting in characteristic caramel flavor and color.
- Maillard reaction: A protein-sugar interaction (reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars) that usually requires heat to produce brown color and flavor. Factors affecting the reaction include sugar type, amino acid type, temperature, and moisture.
- Example: The crust of brioche bread.
Benefits of Browning
- Developing flavor in tea
- Developing color and flavor in dried fruits (e.g., figs, raisins)
- Other desirable effects on flavors and colors of food
Preventing Enzymatic Browning
- Low temperatures reduce reaction rate
- Blanching/roasting denatures enzymes and destroys reactants
- Inert gases (like nitrogen) prevent oxygen reaction
- Using chemicals (e.g., sodium bisulfite, citrates)
- Adding lemon juice or other acids lowers pH and removes necessary cofactors.
