Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 So if enzymes are destroyed at high heats, why doesn't heating something at a low heat (100 degrees) for 4-5 hours also destroy them (dehydrating)? They are not being blasted by high temps, but they are still exposed to prolonged heat. ~Alissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 You've answered your own question: high heat destroys enzymes, low heat for any length of time does not.
