Most of it are high in protein and reducing sugar so its inevitable it will brown during cooking .To minimize Maillards reaction is to reduce the substrate pH..Try adding little acidulant like citric acid during cooking just to turn the pH from slightly alkaline to very Slightly acid side.

In theory, not as you are forming an emulsion, but that needs to be tested if it has am impact on the taste some recipes even have lemon juice ....
