Commercial avocado dips seem to avoid turning brown - admittedly they're usually pretty tasteless but I'd be curious what stops the discoloration.

Check the ingredients... a lot of them are heavily adulterated. Not to say they aren't tasty, but they aren't even necessarily "avocado".

I'm sure they have a step where they add an oxidation prevention molecule- I bet there's some ligand that binds to the oxidation enzyme in avocados. Or maybe high pressure?

And almost all of them are too sour (imo), probably from the antioxidant.

Maybe like for other fruits ? They take them still green.
