Title: Enzymes

QuoteEnzymes are killed when they are exposed to a heat of 118?F. Below this heat level they remain intact.

Are the enzymes in honey different than the enzymes in vegetables?  Why is the threshold for honey 104 degrees and vegetables 118?

Hi acebird, I came across a intertnet site that gave the life spans of honey enzymes at different temperatures, if I find it again I'll post a link.

yes, the enzymes in honey are different than those in plants.   The enzyme is a category of metabolic particles which catalyze one certain molecule within a cell to a different molecule, or product, so therefore, they are not all the same.  Which 'job' the cell has is what determines the construction of the enzyme within, and so it's specific properties.
