I have seen prepackaged cut fruits for example at Starbucks that seem to have a pretty long shelf life.

Prepackaged fruits are usually vaccuum packaged or packaged with carbon dioxide to stem rusting or oxidization.
Answer number one is correct if you don't have a commercial sealer.
Sprinkling cut fruit in lemon or lime juice will help slow oxidization if for instance you're making a fruit platter or something that you want to keep looking fresh.

Juice from any citrus fruit (lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange), a splash of balsamic vinegar, or ascorbic acid.
Some fruits, such as avocados, will also keep from turning brown if you keep the pit in them until you're ready to eat.

Lemon juice works. Possibly try a marmalade and water glaze.

Any citrus fruit will help. Also, there used to be a product named "Fruit Fresh", haven't seen it in years, but I usually say it in the canning section. My mom swore by it. Good Luck.

Pineapple juice has the same effect but doesn't turn things sour
