Best Answer

The lactase enzyme molecules last longer at lower temperatures as there is less denaturation. The energy cost is lower as less energy is used to heat the surroundings. The low temperature can also reduce milk spoilage by reducing bacterial growth. It can control the rate of reaction as well where products are formed more slowly.

Is dried mango a processed food?

That is correct, dehydration is a process. When you pick a ripe mango off the tree, that is an unprocessed food, which you can eat exactly as it is (or if you like, peel the skin off first - it's still unprocessed). When you dry the mango out, you are processing it. It is a relatively simple process, as food processing goes, but it is still a process. Anything you do to a food that changes it from the state it is found in nature is processing. A food can be processed, but still be healthy. It just depends on what the food is, and how it is processed. A dehydrated mango will be much less processed (and healthier) than something like mango syrup. The syrup would be a much larger change from the mango's natural state.
