 Re: permanently wet reeds

At the end of the day, I pasteurize the used reeds by putting them into the over, set at 170 degrees Fahrenhite, with the internal fan on, and dry them there for about 40 minutes.

I did differential calorimetry on the heated clarinet reed for my dissertation. You might want to look at the graphs to make sure that none of the hemicelluloses are volatilized at that temperature. The reed contains up to maybe 3% water in the intercelluar matrix. Removing this water causes the cell walls to shrink and increases stress on the matrix. It might stop the bacteria from growing, but it will also change the mechanical properties of the reed. I would do the opposite direction and cool the reed.
