Will high shipping temperature kill dry yeast?

Dry yeast is a dormant form of yeast that can be stored at room temperature for long periods. However, if dry yeast is exposed to high temperatures, it can be damaged or killed. The exact temperature at which dry yeast is killed will vary depending on the strain of yeast and the length of time it is exposed to the heat. However, most dry yeasts will be killed if exposed to temperatures above 140°F (60°C) for more than a few minutes.

If you are using dry yeast, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for storing and using the yeast. This will help to ensure that the yeast is viable and will produce the desired results when used.

Here are some tips for storing and using dry yeast:

* Store dry yeast in a cool, dry place. The ideal storage temperature is between 55°F and 65°F (13°C and 18°C).

* Avoid exposing dry yeast to direct sunlight or heat.

* Use dry yeast within the expiration date listed on the package.

* When rehydrating dry yeast, use warm water (105°F-115°F (41°C-46°C)). Do not use water that is too hot, as this can kill the yeast.

* After rehydrating dry yeast, let it sit for 5-10 minutes before using. This will allow the yeast to become active.

By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your dry yeast is viable and will produce the desired results when used.
