This is a bizarre claim. It appears to be based on a video in which a durian is briefly exposed to a 3300 degree torch. Anything more than that would obviously reduce the whole fruit to char.

Yeah, it doesn't withstand it, it just burns slowly because of moist in it. So even less would be enough, given time

I hate when my durian doesnt burn cause it got the moist in it :(
