Is it true that Microwaving food alters the chemical composition of the food?
Unclear. Two peer-reviewed studies show microwave heating altered the chemistry of specific food components: Maillard reactions and peptide changes in a gluten-starch model, and shifts in amino acid profile and digestibility in glycosylated soybean 7S protein. Neither covers the general claim that microwaving food alters its chemical composition across foods.
