Re: pigments in apples
Hi pete!
Supplying "Do pigments in apples make oxidation occur faster?" to answers.com yields a large number of matches. Briefly reading through the matches, it appears that sugar has a broader impact than pigment, though I wouldn't rule out out pigment, without research. One could test apples with various pigmentation and see if oxidation were affected.
In addition, you can try my posting "Search sites" in my 7/7/2005 posting plus replies on the Physical Science and Math forum.
