See full technique reference →Roasting at 200–250 °C denatures collagen and initiates Maillard browning, while smoking at 60–80 °C generates phenolic aldehydes and ketones that act as natural preservatives. Sun‑drying lowers moisture to <10 % concentrating lycopene and vitamin C, and fermentation of lemon myrtle produces volatile terpenoids with antimicrobial activity.
