    This is due to the presence of phenolic substances in potatoes, which maintain their respiration. When the potatoes are peeled, the phenols in the plant cells are oxidized with the air under the action of phenols, producing a large amount of quinones. The new quinones can cause plant cells to turn brown rapidly, a change called enzymatic browning of food.

    So apples will change color after peeling and leaving them for a while. This is also the case with potatoes but also some vegetables. This browning affects the appearance of the food, reducing the nutrient content of the outer layer, but it is still edible.

    If the potato is left for a long time after peeling, and the oxidative decomposition of plant cells in the air is intensified, the nutrients in the outer layer of the potato are decomposed more, and the pectin substances are further decomposed into pectic acid and methanol under the action of enzymes, making the flesh loose, wet, discolored, tasteless, and even rotten and deteriorated. So, it is best to eat it immediately after peeling. An easy way to control the discoloration of potatoes is to immediately soak the peeled potatoes in cold, boiled water, sugar water, or lightly salted water to isolate them from the air to prevent oxidation of phenols in plant cells.

    However, from the point of view of preserving the nutrients in potatoes, peeled potatoes should not be soaked for too long. It will not be harmful to the body, so don't worry.

    Nothing to do with the newly renovated kitchen!
