No, not minerals. Minerals are trace elements or inorganic compounds. To 'destroy' them would involve far more energy than any food preparation will require.
Vitamins can be destroyed though. As organic compounds, they will break down during the cooking, being split into their components. They will therefore be unable to be used for their original purposes, as the shape of organic molecules is very important.

How do nutrients get lost during the process of cooking and preparation show can you prevent then?
Some minerals and vitamin A are also lost during cooking, although to a lesser extent. Fat-soluble vitamins D, E and K are mostly unaffected by cooking. Boiling results in the greatest loss of nutrients, while other cooking methods more effectively preserve the nutrient content of food.Steaming and boiling caused a 22 percent to 34 percent loss of vitamin C. Microwaved and pressure-cooked vegetables retained 90 percent of their vitamin C. The bottom line is that no one cooking or preparation method is superior for preserving 100 percent of the nutrients in a vegetable.Vitamin C is a water-soluble and temperature-sensitive vitamin, so is easily degraded during cooking, and elevated temperatures and long cooking times have been found to cause particularly severe losses of vitamin C
Why do leafy vegetables shrink so much when they are cooked?
Leafy vegetables are primarily composed of water. During cooking, water is released from the vegetables either in the form of steam or liquid in the cooking pan (that's what makes the "sizzle" sound when you cook). When water is removed from the plants, there is simply not much left, so they appear to "shrink". To help the release of water, you can add salt, which helps to draw out the moisture.

How are permineralization and replacement similar?
Minerals such as silca, iron, and pyrite are critical for fossilization in both processes. However, in replacement, the hard structures of the organism dissolve and are replaced with minerals. During replacement, the original microscopic details, such as the inside of a bone, are partially or totally destroyed. ~Follow me on Twitter: @jennholguinxo I follow back!
