What is the apple trying to accomplish with this Enzymic Browning? After "damage" - probably a critter taking a bite of the ripening fruit. This seems similar to the process in broccoli where myrosinase converts glucoraphanin -to- sulforaphane -- when the plant is damaged -- to repel the damaging insect or other eater. Here the goal is to protect the plant. What good does the production of quinones - or the brown melanin - do for the apple ?
Hi! Interesting question, and unfortunately no-one knows! The enzyme involved Polyphenol Oxidase (or PPO) for short hasn't been fully understood in it's role in plants. Some research may suggest it's involved in controlling cell death (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3938613/) but this is only in walnuts.
Pretty cool vid I really enjoy my fruits and veggies lots of love❤❤❤
Great videp
