Hello, do hydrolats lose their benefits if they are reheated/cooked?

Based on our experience and the advice we give on how to use our products, it's perfectly possible to heat a hydrosol without altering its distinctive scent or taste. For example, you can easily add Dill or Basil Hydrosol to a hot sauce or drink. However, to preserve all the plant's therapeutic properties and active molecules, we recommend not subjecting the hydrosol to prolonged cooking or excessive heat. Ideally, it should be added after cooking, just before serving.

Comme j’ai un jardin et que je cultive mes aromates, certaines recettes m’ont parues étranges en ce sens qu’il est moins compliqué d’avoir un pied de thym même en pot qu’un flacon d’hydrolat chez soi. Mais de nombreuses recettes me tentent, elles sont légères et en incorporant un hydrolat donc une saveur qui ne se voit pas peut surprendre agréablement ses invités. De plus, je n’aurais jamais pensé à certaines associations.

Bonjour,
est ce que les hydrolats perdent leurs bienfaits si on les rechauffe/cuit?

Essenciagua

D’après notre expérience et les conseils d’utilisation de nos produits, il est tout à fait possible de chauffer un hydrolat sans en altérer l’odeur ou le goût distinctif. Par exemple, vous pouvez sans hésitation ajouter de l'hydrolat d'Aneth ou de Basilic grand vert à une sauce ou une boisson chaude. Cependant, pour préserver l'intégralité des propriétés thérapeutiques et des molécules actives de la plante, nous recommandons de ne pas soumettre l'hydrolat à une cuisson prolongée ou à une température trop élevée. Idéalement, il convient de l'ajouter après la cuisson, juste avant de servir.
