The current study demonstrated that ascorbic acid and hot water treatments could be effective methods in the control of the enzymatic browning in fresh cut apple slices. The both treatments maintained sensory and nutritional quality of fresh-cut ‘Shafie’ apples over 12 day’s storage at 4 °C. Although, both treatments significantly decreased PPOs and POD activity in related to browning in fresh cut apple slices, although the hot water was more effective than ascorbic acid on suppressing monophenolase and diphenolase activity of PPOs and POD enzymes.
