Answer to Question 1

The dipping pretreatment is an acid. It lowers the pH and thus prevents the action of the enzyme that causes browning.

Answer to Question 2

Tomatoes are acidic and do not brown when dehydrated. For zucchini the answers may vary but zucchini have lower amounts of phenolic compounds and/or less phenolase.

Answer to Question 3

oxidase or phenolase. In the presence of oxygen from the air, this enzyme catalyzes the formation in the biochemical conversion of plant phenolic compounds to brown pigments known as melanins.
