"Enzymatic browing" is often caused by polyphenol oxidase resulting in melanins or brown pigmentation in fruits, seafood, & vegetables (which then often need to be thrown away). Browing is beneficial in dried fruit & teas. Browning can be reduced by: blanching, acids like lemon juice, or other chemicals like sodium bisulfite.
