SIP Experiment Results

Continuing from the previous post, after 9 hours I took all the peach slices out and put them on the paper plates. I threw away the control and the peach in tap water because their it was obvious they were not effective.

After 9 hours of soaking

I ended up leaving the rest of the peaches overnight! I put a cover over them to prevent flies/lizards from interfering with the results of the experiment.

I woke up at 2.45 am to check on the peaches. (Actually no, I woke up to catch the rare total lunar eclipse and went to check on the peaches after that)

Here are the results after 6 hours of the peaches being taken out of the liquids in order of merit, starting from the least brown to the most brown:

Lemon Juice - Unchanged (Not brown at all)
Redoxon 1000
Lime Juice
Orange Juice (slight brown)
Redoxon 500 (totally brown)
Kiwi Juice (totally brown)

At 8.30 am the next morning, I recorded down their appearances again:

Lemon Juice (still the best)
Redoxon 1000
Lime Juice
Orange Juice (slight brown)
Salt water (1/2)
Salt water (1)
Redoxon 500
Kiwi Juice

8.30 am (about 12 hours after peaches were taken out)

The last 4 were completely brown. However, I had forgotten to note down the appearances of the 2 peaches placed in the salt water at 2.45 am! But judging from the rest of the peaches, things had not changed much 6 hours later.
