BACKGROUND

RESEARCHPolyphenol oxidase+ oxygen = oxidation

Covering the cut bruised surface with an acid.

HYPOTHESIS

The higher the level of acidity, the slower the speed of browning of an apple.

The lower the level of acidity, the faster the speed of browning of an apple.

MATERIALS NEEDED

Prepare all the materials needed. Cut the apple. Pour 2.7 ounce of lemon in the cup and 2.7

ounce of vinegar as well in another cup. Soak the cut apple in the designated cups:

with vinegar and with lemon/calamansi. Observe for 30 minutes and jot down the

details. Repeat the process for trials 1 and 2.

DATA ANALYSIS

Therefore, apple turns brown

slower if been soaked in a higher acidic level of liquid( in this case lemon). Moreover, it turns brown faster if been soaked in a lower acidic level of liquid ( vinegar ).

CONCLUSION

The HYPOTHESIS is ACCEPTED!!!
