You are not showing ignorance...you are correct. The H2O2 is produced by the glucose oxidase acting on the glucose. Storage of H2O2 probably isn't an issue...but heat does break it down, and the glucose oxidase will denature with some amount of heat as well.
>I keep some hydrogen peroxide in the refrigerator (for years) and it still fizzes. It isn't that delicate, at least in cold.
