Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

In my experment of oxidation the apples, i found that oranges did not stop the oxidation process when appleid to the apple. Why is that? I thought oranges had a lot of vitamin C. Is it the acid levels or sugar content? Please help.

-Lemons and limes worked the best. They are more sour. Does this have some thing to do with?
