Is microwave heating harmful to food?

Microwave dryer is a dryer that is different from traditional drying methods in that it is integrally heated. Due to the ease of external heat dissipation, its heat conduction direction is the same as the water diffusion direction.
Is microwave heating harmful to food? You know what?
1. Prolonged heating of certain substances can be harmful
However, heating certain substances in a microwave oven can cause damage. For example, meat, for example, contains more protein, and once the protein is overheated, it will simply produce carcinogen, such as ammonium nitrate.
But this is the same as roasting meat on fire. The burnt meat may contain carcinogen. This is not a problem with microwaves, but a problem caused by high temperatures. Compared to whether heating food in a microwave oven is harmful, another issue that attracts people's attention is microwave radiation.
2. Microwave heating is prone to loss of nutrients with poor heat resistance
Regarding using a microwave to heat food, will it lead to the loss of nutrients in the food? Microwave manufacturers remind us that this cannot be generalized, it depends on the detailed heating of which foods.
For example, using a microwave oven to heat foods that contain more vitamin C, such as vegetables and fruits, can lead to the loss of vitamin C, but using a wok to fry such foods can also lead to the loss of vitamin C, which is due to the fact that vitamin C is classified as a nutrient element with poor heat resistance. This is precisely the reason why some vegetables and fruits eaten raw can make people absorb more nutrients, as the nutrients they contain are not heat resistant.
However, sometimes using a microwave to heat food can bring many advantages. For example, making food hot and soft is beneficial for human absorption, especially for middle-aged and elderly people. The principle of microwave heating is to use a microwave generator in the oven to change the electric field, causing molecules in the food to rotate at high speed, collide with each other, and generate heat to heat the food.
In this process, microwaves are absorbed and converted into heat energy. Once the microwave oven is turned off, the microwave generator stops emitting microwaves, and the microwaves disappear immediately.
3. The experiment of watering dead plants in microwave oven is not credible
The analysis indicates that if the tap water is heated in a microwave oven, it is mainly composed of water molecule H2O, which contains two atoms of hydrogen and oxygen, and some other minerals. However heated, it is impossible to produce harmful substances such as H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide). After heating, the salt content of the water may rise, and the CO2 (carbon dioxide) in the air is more soluble in water. Even so, it is impossible for plants to be drowned, The plants used for experiments are particularly resistant to salt and acid.
