Guest Boylesja Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 I am trying to find a chemical reaction involving fruit enzymes that produces cold temps. Just wondering if the final product would be edible? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skye Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 None that I know of... Anabolic reactions are endothermic so they require energy, but in cells they get it mostly by breaking down ATP which actually releases some heat. Also enzymes operate faster at higher temps (which is the point of refrigeration, it slows ripening by slowing catalysis down) so even if an enzyme lowered the temp it would slow it's own reaction down, so it would be self defeating.
