This method is widely used in the food processing industry to maintain the texture and quality of the peeled fruit.

(b) KH₂PO₄: It is the chemical formula for potassium dihydrogen phosphate, also known as monobasic potassium phosphate or monopotassium phosphate. It is an inorganic compound that is used as a fertilizer, food additive, and buffering agent.
