Default Drying temperature and nutrient loss

Hi there,

I recently heard that drying food at temperatures over 115 causes
great loss of nutrients. Does anybody have any science on this? It is
easy to imagine that the temperatures recommended by dryer
manufacturers give best speed results, but perhaps not the best
nutrition.

Thank you.

Doing anything to food loses nutrients. If you really want to get
the most nutrients out of food, eat it raw. (meat being the exception)
