“…Sulphur amino acids, such as cysteine, and the tripeptide glutathione (y-glutamyl-cysteinyl-glycine, the reduced form) have been reported as effective inhibitors of browning in fruit juices (Walker, 1964a;Walker and Reddish, 1964;Montgomery, 1983;Dudley and Hotchkiss, 1989;Molnar-Perl and Friedman, 1990a,b;Richard et al, 1991, Robert et al, 1996 and, considering its low cost and the fact that it is a primary biometabolite, it is surprising that its use in industry has not been more widespread. Iyengar and McEvily (1992) reported that the concentration required for acceptable inhibition of enzymic browning had negative effects on taste but this is dependent on the system to be inhibited.…”
