See full technique reference →Enzymatic hydrolysis converts cellulose into soluble sugars, fermentation reduces antinutrients and produces lactic acid, dehydration lowers water activity while concentrating polyphenols, and acidification extracts chlorogenic acids. These processes alter pH, water activity, and molecular structure to enhance flavor, nutrition, and shelf stability while minimizing waste.
