Browning (food Process)

Browning (food Process)

Browning is the process of becoming brown, especially referring to food. Browning foods may be desirable, as in caramelization, or undesirable, as in an apple turning brown after being cut. Foods, including beverages, can turn brown through either enzymatic or non-enzymatic processes.

Browning has an important economic cost causing deterioration of the value of products in the market of food.
