  Inhibition of enzymatic browning of raw fruit and/or vegetable juice - Patent 6020018
The present invention relates to the inhibition of enzymatic browning of raw fruit juice and/or raw vegetable juice by treating said juice with an effective anti-browning amount of at least one sulfated polysaccharide to inhibit browning.
Further, it is an object of the invention to provide novel browning inhibiting compositions useful to inhibit enzymatic browning in raw fruit juice and/or raw vegetable juice without the use of sulfites.
Browning was inhibited 95-100% by the combination of 0.05% of any of the carrageenans and 0.5% citric acid.

Non-enzymatic browning is a chemical process that produces a brown color in foods without the activity of enzymes.
Enzymatic browning likewise produces melanins, but through the action of enzymes.

 Enzymatic Browning
Enzymatic browning is one of the most devastating reactions for many exotic fruits and vegetables, in particular tropical and subtropical varieties.
The control of browning in fruits and vegetables hinges upon an understanding of the mechanism(s) responsible for browning in fruits, vegetables and seafoods, the properties of polyphenol oxidase enzyme(s), their substrates and inhibitors, and the chemical, biological and physical factors which affect each of these parameters.
Enzymatic browning does not occur in intact plant cells since phenolic compounds in cell vacuoles are separated from the polyphenol oxidase which is present in the cytoplasm.

browning is the negative odor and flavor that is imparted by the additive.
The primary action considered responsible for non-enzymatic browning of fruit juice is generally thought to be the Maillard reaction, which is responsible for the development of a purposeful brown color, similar to that which occurs when bread is baked to form a golden brown crust.
Although browning reactions are almost always directly involved in the development of process flavors in foods, the interactions between degradation product of browning reaction and other food constitutes are also important and extensive to the development of other off- flavors.
