Dec 4, 2016 at 16:27 comment added Jolenealaska @tubedogg My lime juice as way of slowing browning experiments only used one concentration (1/4 teaspoon per 50 grams of avocado). Was your lime juice bottled or fresh? I have some bottled lime juice that contains sodium metasulfate, which I think can be efficacious, much like the sodium bisulfite in Wayfaring Stranger's answer.
Sep 28, 2016 at 4:33 comment added tubedogg We recently made guac and I put way too much lime juice in it. It subsequently didn't brown...at all. It was around for 4 or 5 days before being finished and still looked as green as the day we made it. Based on your two posts, the only thing I can think of (because I was assuming the lime juice was what had done it) is it had cilantro, which has a little bit of Vitamin C in it, or the onions, though there was not much onion, and it was white, not red. I still don't know why it stayed green so long.
