Cabbage, for instance, can withstand frost down to 20 degrees or even 15 degrees F. Cauliflower and chard are more sensitive to cold than broccoli, collards, kale, kohlrabi, or mustard. The conditioning of the plants as influenced by weather conditions prior to exposure to cold temperatures determine plant survival.he cole crops grow best at a monthly mean temperature of 60 to 70 degrees F. This occurs when temperatures are 80 degrees F. or less during the day and 60 degrees F. or less during the night. In Texas these ranges occur in October.
To this point in the digestive system, we have not come across an enzyme that digests fats. However, pancreatic juice contains an enzyme that breaks down dietary fat molecules called pancreatic lipase. Fat digestion is a little different than the digestion of carbohydrates and proteins.
Lipase is an enzyme produced by the pancreas that breaks down dietary fats (triglycerides) into fatty acids which can be used for energy, as well as to help regulate thyroid and adrenal gland activity, control inflammation, and regulate blood pressure, immune responses and liver function.
