Can peeled apples not change color and be eaten

Peeled apples that do not change color are generally edible, and whether they change color or not does not directly affect the safety of consumption. Apple discoloration is mainly caused by oxidation reactions, but non discoloration may be related to environmental conditions or variety characteristics. The discoloration of apples after peeling is due to the oxidation of polyphenolic substances in the flesh upon contact with air, forming brown substances. This process does not affect their nutritional value or safety. If the apple does not change color after peeling, it may be due to high humidity and low temperature in the environment, or low polyphenol oxidase activity in the apple itself. This type of apple has the same taste and nutrition as regular apples and can be consumed normally, but attention should be paid to observing for any other abnormal odors or texture changes. Some apples that have undergone special processing may experience delayed discoloration due to the addition of antioxidants or vacuum packaging. It is necessary to confirm whether the processing method complies with food safety standards for these types of apples. If an apple remains unchanged for a long time after peeling and is accompanied by abnormal odors, stickiness, etc., it may have spoiled and is not recommended for consumption. When purchasing, choose fresh apples, peel them and consume them as soon as possible or store them in a sealed refrigerator for better preservation.

For daily consumption of apples, it is recommended to prioritize fresh fruits. If you do not eat them temporarily after peeling, you can soak them in light salt water or drop a little lemon juice to delay oxidation. When storing, be careful to separate from other foods to avoid cross contamination, and refrigerate for no more than 24 hours. Apples are rich in dietary fiber and vitamin C, but those with weak gastrointestinal function should control their single intake and avoid consuming large amounts on an empty stomach.
