discolor/brown (in this case)


Explanation:
Te hice la pregunta porque en términos culinarios (recetas, explicaciones, etc.) no se usa "oxidarse" en inglés. Te paso algunos ejemplos pero si tienes libros de cocina en inglés (originales, no traducidos) puedes comprobarlo fácilmente:
http://www.nytimes.com/2000/05/17/dining/artichokes-out-of-t...
Cut stems off artichokes, so they stand upright, and rub bottoms with cut lemon to prevent discoloring.
http://www.yanuq.com/english/vegetables.htm
After each cut, rub with lemon to prevent discoloration.
http://www.inmamaskitchen.com/RECIPES/RECIPES/VEGII/artichok...
Cut stem off at base of artichoke and cut off bottom: peel skin off stem. Rub cut surfaces with fresh lemon to prevent browning.
