Why Do Apples Turn Brown?

The video explains why apples turn brown when cut or damaged, focusing on the role of the enzyme polyphenol oxidase (PPO) which oxidizes phenols, leading to melanin production. This process is a natural immune response in plants to protect against infection. The browning is similar to the oxidation process that gives flavor to foods like cocoa and coffee.
