Most
enzymes found in honey are heat stable, there fore heating honey to 185 degrees
for short period of time does not affect the enzymes naturally found in
honey. "Processing
is not a fully destructive process, as some consumers would have others
believe. Heating and filtering honey
does not completely eliminate all enzymes, nor does it have a negative effect
on honey’s mineral and antioxidant levels." Ropa Science Research - Research
