I remember the enzyme destruction point being 180, not 118. That would

explain it, if I'm right

Hi ,

I guess I use a different recipe for dehydrated papaya seeds. I just soak them

enough to get them clean, then put them in my dehydrator at 100 degrees (so not

problem destroying enzymes), making sure to dry them until they are completely

dry.

I am allergic to black pepper, and these make a nice substitute.

Hmm... I'm a little confused. NT says that anything heated beyond

118 degrees will destroy enzymes, but does anyone know why some of

the recipes say to soak and then dry seeds at a much higher

tempurature? The one example that comes to mind are the instructions

for drying papaya seeds. The recipe suggests using them in place of

black pepper for their enzyme content, but the recommended drying

tempurature is 150 degrees.

Thanks!

I was taught the enzyme destruction was close to 115 degrees, so I try to keep

my dehydrator at around 100.

Pasturization temperature is 180 but enzyme destruction is much lower at

about 115.
