Reply to comment by getgoingfast in [homemade] guacamole by brandirosie

It doesn’t. The guac turns brown because of an enzymatic reaction between polyphenol oxidase and oxygen. The only ways to prevent browning are either an air tight container or something the deactivates the enzyme (like lime juice).

Edit- autocorrect typo, lime juice
