Yes. Although depletion of oxygen would hinder obligate aerobes (organisms that use molecular O2 as their terminal electron acceptor and cannot ferment e.g. you), most bacteria are facultative aerobes. In short, this means they can carry on metabolic function without air, through fermentation; thereby producing ethanol (as is the case with yeast) or lactate. The later is produced by bacteria responsible for food spoilage. Most of these strains ferment lactic acid with or without air.

Does fresh mozzarella have to be refrigerated if vacuum sealed?

No. Vacuum seals keep out air, so the bacteria cannot grow.


What foods should not be vacuum sealed for storage?

Foods that should not be vacuum sealed for storage include soft cheeses, mushrooms, garlic, and freshly cooked or steamed vegetables. These foods can produce gases that may cause the vacuum seal to break or create an environment for harmful bacteria to grow.


What important of vacuum space in canning food?

The importance of creating a vacuum when food is canned, is that it minimizes or eliminates the exposure of the food to oxygen. When foods are exposed to oxygen, they begin to spoil and decompose, and bacteria grow rapidly. At that point, they generally have poisonous levels of bacteria. By creating the vacuum, the food doesn't grow bacteria until the vacuum seal is opened.

How long does a vacuum sealed smoked turkey last at room temp?

A vacuum-sealed smoked turkey should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Bacteria can grow rapidly in the temperature danger zone (40°F to 140°F), which can lead to foodborne illness. For safety, it's best to refrigerate or freeze the turkey if not consumed within that time frame.


How long will vacuum sealed chicken last in the refrigerator?

Vacuum sealing is known to increase shelf life, but for how long depends on too many variables to give a definitive answer. The best way to store it is frozen.One of the problems that many people do not realize is that vacuum packaged meat and veggie should be stored below 38°F. There are strains of Clostridium botulinum that will grow and produce toxins above that temperature.


Can bacteria grow on any part of the chicken?

Yes, bacteria can grow on any part of the chicken, including the skin, meat, and internal organs. Contamination can occur during processing, handling, or cooking if proper hygiene practices are not followed. It's important to cook chicken thoroughly to kill any harmful bacteria and prevent foodborne illnesses. Additionally, storing chicken at safe temperatures helps inhibit bacterial growth.


What type of bacteria grows on deli chicken meat left out?

Pathogens and spoilage bacteria can grow on deli meat left at room temperature.


can you reheat chicken that was left in oven overnight?

No, you shouldn't eat chicken that was unrefrigerated overnight. It has had time for bacteria to grow and could make you very sick.

Can mold grow in a store-bought canned goods?

Assuming that the canned goods wasn't meant to have molds in them, such as is the case with cheeses, some meats, etc, then a properly sealed and vacuum-packed can of store-bought goods will not harbor any harmful bacteria, molds, etc, unless and until the can is opened or otherwise breached.


What is used to grow colonies of bacteria away from open air contaminants?

Agar plates are commonly used to grow colonies of bacteria away from open air contaminants. Agar is a gel-like substance that provides nutrients and a solid surface for bacterial growth while protecting the colonies from airborne contaminants. By streaking the bacteria onto the agar plate, researchers can isolate and study pure colonies of bacteria.
