They wont stay vacuum sealed because some of them will off gas, then rot in their own gases. This is why they freeze dry and dehydrate foods for long term storage. Removing most or all of the moisture is key. Then vacuum seal it with some o2/moisture absorbing packs and some stuff can last 20-30 years.

[@ritsak]

Thank you for saying it! I couldn't believe I had to scroll down so far to see someone pointing this out. Within 5 minutes, the bread and apple would have had no vacuum left. Should have put pressure sensors on the jars

[@shdwbnndbyyt]

Note: As someone with over 15 years lyophilization experience, the main issue is that you still have residual moisture and oxygen in the foods themselves. You would need to actually freeze-dry the foods to prevent spoilage. While making freeze-dried pharmaceuticals, you generally have to reduce the moisture content of the freeze dried solids to under 0.1% to prevent mold and bacteria from growing.

[@michaelangel6201]

Exactly...100%, but if you were going to do something like this, you'll need to ensure all your jars are sterile, re-vacuum most items after its initial with a lot of moister (sp) after sitting for 30mins to an hour and also adding a salt pack.

I don't think you needed to drill the lids - you could just have left them half unscrewed - same as for when they are used for canning - gas can escape by lifting the lid a little, but when the pressure outside the jar is greater, the lid is pressed into place and seals tight

[@sirawesomeness7543]

I’m a microbiologist in training and I think I know why the vacuum was disturbed. The answer is not likely that the seals broke or air got in, but more so the microbes and fungus living on the food created their own atmosphere. Many microbial decomposers are anaerobic which means they don’t need oxygen and occasionally don’t even need air to survive. Where you left the unsterile food exposed to unsterile objects, decomposers contaminated the samples and went to work regardless of air pressure. The lack of pressure may have disturbed some of them, but by the looks of it, mostly cells with cell walls survived because the cell wall helps to regulate the cells size and shape, resisting the vacuum chamber. As they broke down the saccharides (sugars) in the food, they created oxygen and carbon dioxide. Also, there could be traces of other gases depending such as nitrogen depending on what parts the microbes and fungus decomposed and what types of metabolisms they use to respire. Water could also be created through respiration which is why the bread may have been even more moist than it was to begin with. To sum it up, organisms that don’t require air or an atmosphere contaminated your samples and created their own atmosphere within a vacuum chamber.

[@rtboyce]

Not atmospheric pressure. Only the vapour pressure of water at room temperature. That's ignoring any air dissolved in the moisture or other gasses released from the food.

[@MrZer000]

The point is not to keep the pressure low, but to get rid of the air thats filled with germs

[@unluckyeddy7966]

You are using canning jars, they are designed to use negative pressure to seal themselves. Take the lids and set them in near boiling water for about 10 minutes to soften the sealing compound, then when you go to vacuum seal the lids just put the rings to finger tight, once you remove them from the chamber take the rings off and you will know if you have a proper seal, it's very much like using heat or pressure canning. I would suggest that you redo this experiment properly rather than using a potential weak point such as that rubber taped over the top.

Anaerobic bacteria needs carbon dioxide which a vacuum chamber does not have

[@fdriller9]

You only removed one source of decay, air. There is still tons of moisture in the foods you sealed into a container, which is a perfect place for bacteria to grow

[@Bartooc]

And it definitely wasn't even close to a perfect vacuum.

[@flyingmoose]

You do realize you didn’t have to do all that stuff with the rubber... Those jars are designed to vacuum seal if you just leave the ring loose, and they wouldn’t have leaked. That’s the whole purpose of canning jars (although it’s usually done with steam and not a vacuum pump).

[@thelapislazuliking1130]

When you steam the jars in canning its basically a type of diy vacuum pump. This is due to air pressure differences caused by temperature differences

[@Graxster]

At 7:26 "It's possible we haven't kept a perfect vacuum on all of these". You're correct in that statement. The drilling/rubber seal idea was unnecessary. It would have been easier and simpler if you just placed the mason jar lids on the jars and put them in the vacuum chamber (without the bands). The pressure inside the mason jar would have lifted the lid enough to allow the vacuum to draw the air out. When the vacuum pump was turned off, the rubber on the lid would have sealed the jar. Then you could place the screw bands on. Check out a FoodSaver wide mouth jar sealer, which works on the same principle. TLDR: The mason jar lid works on the same exact principle as the rubber + electrical tape, and works better.

[@vedritmathias9193]

I thought the same thing. They took canning jars and drilled a hole in the lid, so they could put rubber over it. It's like buying a car, cutting out the windshield and putting clear plastic over it so you can see.

[@jenson1569]

a lot bacteria also can only exclusively grow with the absence of oxygen btw... they're called Obligate anaerobe germs and generally are more pathogenic than those who can metabolize oxygen

[@fieroboom]

The jars shouldn't need any modifications if you just leave the ring a little loose. The lid will allow the air to burp out, but will seal the vacuum in the jar as soon as pressure is reintroduced.

[@michaelc7723]

You have demonstrated that when you pull out most of the air but leave moisture and nutrients behind, microbes that don't need oxygen can grow. This includes yeasts and molds, some of which are quite toxic. This also includes anaerobic bacteria. A common anaerobic bacteria produces botulism. Vacuum or dry nitrogen are great for storing dry things. Moist things, not so much.

[@AvilerED]

This is more or less a more complex explanation of what I was thinking. I was just thinking that dry materials fared better than those with high moisture content.

So basically, as NASA and the military figured out DECADES ago, if you want to vacuum seal food you need to dehydrate it first.

[@speedy01247]

this was not asking about mold but staleness. (which was proven to be accurate, it kept the stuff from getting stale) mold aside the apples and bread both showed that they were not stale.

[@elderblackdragon]

Re-watch the first five seconds. "A lot of food goes stale OR ROTTEN if they stay exposed to air or moisture, what happens if they stay in a vacuum chamber?" I would say molding qualifies as rotting. So my comment still stands.

yes, also the vacuum does nothing to prevent anaerobic bacteria and mounds - which themselves will produce gases and start to remove the vacuum eg carbon dioxide from yeasts. Aerobic bacteria will not survive long and will be prevented by vacuum.

And sometimes oxygen actually inhibits certain microbes. So vacuum can actually increase microbial growth, if there is moisture present. But tbh, the vacuum isn't perfect if there is moisture left in the product.

Lol, no it won't, it will be completely freeze dried and from there not change appreciably for thousands of years if you keep it away from light. Of course this also requires not just that you initially pump out the air but you keep pumping as all the volatiles (like liquid water) evaporate out until there is nothing left but completely dessicated remnants. The microbes that break your food down can't survive without water. No form of life can do ANYTHING without water.

What would happen if you put pop rocks in liquid nitrogen? Would they freeze too quickly or would they still pop?

[@Abion47]

Pop Rocks work by trapping carbon dioxide inside bubbles within the candy at high pressure. As the candy dissolves in your mouth, the gas is released, and that's what causes the pop. Liquid nitrogen would not dissolve the candy, so it wouldn't pop. The only thing that might happen is that the candy would snap freeze, causing it to crack apart from the contracting pressures and release the gas that way, but then it still wouldn't pop because the gas is contracting right along with the candy itself, so the pressure difference between the gas and the air would be much smaller.

[@rma2873]

Shaborn Leggette HI

[@1.4142]

Pop rocks only dissolve in water, so no, they won't pop. And also, the gas bubble of CO2 are pressurized, and liquid nitrogen makes air pressure lower due to the cold temperature, so the pop rocks would lose all the energy stored in the bubbles, too.

There are several problems that I see with this experiment. The jars weren't sterilized, the vacuum was unstable, and the food seemed to be cut with the same knife.

It would be cool to see this done again with containers designed for vacuum and cleaner setup.

[@faoladh5177]

These jars are LITERALLY designed for vacuum storage, until they altered them by drilling holes in them. To have them work correctly, sterlize them, place food inside them without cross contaminating food. Put on inner lid cover, then screw on ring clamp loosely. Place in vacuum chamber, evacuate air. Remove jar from vacuum chamber. Partial vacuum in jar will hold inner lid cover sealed, then screw down ring clamp tightly. Voila.

I would really like to see a part two of this where you test what is required to preserve food, specifically sliced/diced fruits, as long as it's whole unsliced counterpart left on the counter. Maybe whole apple on the counter vs whole apple in the fridge vs sliced apple in zip lock in fridge vs in vaccum in fridge vs in sterilized vaccum in fridge?

[@eduardutu6455]

molding is not formed from bacteria , mold is made of fungies

[@2drealms196]

there are some anaerobic bacteria that can exist without oxygen. IIRC they can exist in soda cans and if you see bulging soda, it can be a sign of their prseents and you shouldn't drink them.

[@tayparker6358]

@steamtrain27 9 *bu dum skraa*

[@biggreenblob]

First of all, there are many types of bacteria that do not require oxygen, they are called anaerobic bacteria (like the ones that cause botulism in poorly canned food), and they are basically just as common as aerobic bacteria (those that do require oxygen). Second of all, mold is a fungi, not a bacteria.

[@earlsworkshop]

You don't understand how canning jars work. You don't need to drill a hole in the lid! The lid is two pieces for a reason. Don't tighten the outer ring, the vacuum pulls the lid open and draws the gasses out (and water), then the atmospheric pressure presses the lid down sealing the vacuum inside.

[@shuken1988]

Ideally the anaerobic bacteria cannot survive in vacuum, when there is no air pressure. They just don't need oxygen, that's it

I thought anaerobic bacteria can't survive with oxygen but it surely needs some kind of gas and moisture to survive. I think only virus can survive in vacuum.

........mold is absolutely amazing. There are mold spores on basically everything...all the time. They just need the right conditions to grow. And apparently they don't even need air (or at least extremely little air) to grow. I honestly thought the bread in the vacuum would not grow mold due to the lack of an atmosphere. Weird.

[@pietrayday9915]

Mold is a fungus, and does "breathe" air (more precisely, the oxygen in the air) - I suspected that going in. Like you, though, I predicted that mold wouldn't grow in what's passing for a vacuum here, and was surprised to see that mold seemed to have no problems growing in near-vacuum conditions. I'm guessing there's just enough oxygen left in the near-vacuum - and just enough oxygen in the apples and bread and the moisture in them - to keep those molds going, but I would have still bet against them. They really are, as you say, amazing organisms! One has to suspect that fungi will grow pretty well in space (and I understand that molds and other fungi are problems inside our space stations!) I wonder how well more organized fungi grow in microgravity conditions, and how well they survive the radiation of space?

[@Shoderra]

There is mold and fungus that doesn't need oxygen to live...

[@wuppieigor]

even your own body can burn stuff without oxygen for a bit, lactic acid or alcohol get formed then (depending on the organism)

[@sleepydog9968]

maybe they should bring some spores over to the iss

[@wu1ming9shi]

Tbh i feel like they used the "wrong" type of bread. There as way too much sugar in there. If you really ant to use the right kind they should've made their own mixture with flour, water, yeast, oil and some salt. It's really easy. Just get the right amounts and mix em together. Let it set for a little for the yeast to do it's job and put it in the oven. Done. Seriously though baking bread is one of the easiest things to do. It doesn't even have to be edible.

[@selenehernandez3007]

Apart from not being properly put into a vacuum, it as well needed to be sterilized in order for spores and germs in the air to not keep growing inside the jar (there are anaerobic germs and spores that can grow still)

[@user-jn7kv1fs7d]

Keeping something vacuum is actually very challenging, especially over such a long period. What you should do is to vacuum these jars EVERY DAY. Otherwise they might be little oxygen for the first few hours/days, but after that they will be no difference between the vacuum jars and non-vacuum jars. What's worse, unlike human beings, bacteria requires very little oxygen, so those vacuum jars prevented food from drying out (because water vapor can't go out), yet it has enough oxygen for bacteria, so it's oxygen + moisture, which is even worse then just oxygen but dry food. That's why you get worse results from apple and bread.

[@JoshBreakdowns]

THIS!!!!!

[@mydronefootage8574]

Yea what he said

[@letitiawong5473]

If you drill a hole into the lids, then yes, you would have to keep vacuuming the jars every day. But canning lids are designed to form an airtight seal with a vacuum for the very purpose of preserving non-moist foods. There are multiple companies that sell consumer food vacuum sealer systems to do exactly what TKOR failed to do this time.

[@MichaelSHartman]

If the procedure had been done correctly, an oxygen absorber should meet your concerns.

[@terryrhuebottom]

You guys know they make an adapter that fits over a standard mason jar lid and another size that fits wide mouth lids, they connect to a vacuum sealer by a hose. with the right hose and a standard lid you can do the jars without worrying about the holes or something not working as well. Also warming up the lid a bit by heating in boiling water softens the ring seal on the lids for a better seal.

[@surfmusicman]

How come you needed to drill an extra hole and an extra rubber stopper? All you had to do was place the flat part of the lid on top, without twisting on the outer ring and place it in the vacuum chamber. The vacuum would hold it there perfectly fine because there is a built in rubber gasket on the flat part of the lid.

[@baccon1150]

A similar process as canning but use vaccum chamber instead of a pressure canner

[@PupilasGustativas]

Yes, that would have been a smart solution! I really doubt his rubber seals kept the air from getting in.

[@baccon1150]

@Sly Cooper if you look up canning with two piece lids it'll make more sense

[@DiniM]

RIGHT! That's basically what those jars are for! This is what you get when no prep research is done.

[@Azreal911]

you are soo correct on that, drilling the holes pretty much compromised the lids. I do have that vacuum sealer lid attachment. all you really do it vacuum seal normally in that big jar and upon release the gasket on that lid will hold much much better. That little piece of rubber is not 100% sealed. I've had coffee grinds sealed away like this for weeks and it holds the vacuum!

Wash canning lids in warm soapy water, and rinse to remove sealant. Put lids on jars. Turn rings just enough to keep the lids from sliding off. Forget the drill and tape. Vacuum. Lids will seal against jar rims. Jars and lids should have been sterilized. Dry items do very well. I have not tried chips because of the oil, so that was interesting.

[@WizzBang75]

Dry Canning is for dry goods only. I will echo the comment above...no need to drill a hole, that was counter productive. Clean and sterilize the jars and lids, place your dry goods (including dehydrated things such as apples) and enjoy years later. Dry goods only, though. Having said all of that, we love TKOR, and I think an updated video on this would be worth the time.
