Carbonated fruit: apple slices

- In a previous video, I used a stainless steel water bottle as a pressure chamber to add argon and carbon dioxide to beer. This time, I used pure CO2 to carbonate some apple slices. They're very tasty!

Best. Science Channel. Ever
Barq's: the one that bites
It would be very interesting to see the carbo-apple slices in a glass of apple juice or flavored water. A cocktail with a carbo fruit floating inside would likely be a big hit. Imagine a cherry, apple, pineapple, blueberries floating/fizzing martini, vodka gimlet, etc. Interesting and yummy. Iced tea as well.
I did this, works very well. I use beer kegs and I can carbonate a lot of apples in a few days in my fridge. You don't even have to cut them, you use them whole and they get very carbonated. The look on people's faces is awesome when they bite in the apples.
Really cool! You should try orange slices or something citrus based and see what kind of flavors you can get out of that!
This is very interesting ! I tried the apples myself as I have beer kegs for home brewing. It works very well and the result is astonishing. We even tried different fruits such as raspberries, oranges, pears, kiwifruits. Works best on apples and pears because of the texture but the raspberries were completely crushed. The kiwifruit and oranges were looking not too bad, and they taste soso. I found that the fruits get carbonated even if you keep them whole. Good as chocolate fondue ;)
Good Job man. The explanations, the quaility of the images, good stuff. These videos bring science to the people, and there is not many scietists who knows how to do it. Thank you from Zaragoza Chemistry University
This is seriously one of the coolest channels I've run into.
this should be a thing at the zoo or something instead of those ice cream dots.
I want carbonated bacon.
And my chemistry teacher told me it was a bad idea to eat while doing experiments, let alone eating your experiments!
Awesome channel man! Loads of cool ideas :)
your videos are always interesting, keep it up!
I have everything to do this!!! Totally going to try it out! This would be great for an all hallows eve party!
DigGil3 makes an interesting point - could this be used to store fresh fruit for extended periods of time? You should trying doing it with something like strawberries, which are prone to going bad in just a few days time even in the fridge. It would be awesome if you could extend their lifetime to a week or two! Do more followups on this please. :)
Is there a considerable difference between this result & the result of the 2 hours attempt?
let me know how it turned out i was thinking the same but haven't tried because my walmart don't carry sodastream
Have you had any offers from restaurants that serve molecular cuisine to do some research for them yet?
would a paint-ball Co2 tank work for this project?
this would make kids want to eat fruit and veggies
I guess the blood cells was the borderline for max magnification?
Really high quality pictures n the fly and generally as well, great work and great video!
I wonder if there is a cheap way to do this. Looks fun, but I don't have a lathe...
I was watching this video and thought I may have an idea that could speed up the process of carbonating the fruit and prevent the slight yellowing.
If you put a valve in your pressure chamber, might you try creating a full vacuum in the chamber first to remove any oxygen.
Then detach the vacuum and attach your co2 tank and pump your co2 into your pressure chamber.
Just a thought, I don't know if it would make any difference.
how did you get the pressure out safely ?
Oh! Here's an idea. Potential food-of-the-gods: Carbonated Gummy Bears.
Does this causes the apple to be more resistant to degradation?
how long will they stay carbonated?
Can you make soda water please.
I have an idea! Gasses are more soluble to liquids in colder temperatures. So, why not place the pressure vessel in a refrigerator and see how much more carbonated the apple slices can get?
How much do those cost?
I had nitrogen-infused cherries once. If you have access to compressed nitrogen, I'd love to hear a comparison :)
cool ideas
Now you're cooking with science!
tastes like science :)
I've heard that you should not breathe industrial grade helium because it might contain other things that could hurt you. Could the same be true of eating industrial grade C02? Are you using some sort of very pure C02? Or, maybe the person who told me that just didn't want me wasting his helium... Great video, thanks!
that is awesome
i would buy dis
You didn't describe the texture. :( How did it feel to eat a bubbling apple?
I'd like to do this on an unsuspecting person and make them think they're going crazy.
This man + money = Tony Stark!
I assume you refrigerated the apple slices while they were getting saturated with CO2?
Just thinking of the bad, anerobic bacteria that would probably grow very happily in that environment (like botulin)
Most bacteria don’t grow in low pH environments. However, C. botulinum can grow under low pH, but only with protein-rich substrates.
informative and fun to watch :3
Bake sales will never be the same.
Is that food grade ? can co2 from paint ball store be used for that?
Pass your paint ball CO2 through a good filter and it will capture oil droplets.
However, I don't know if there are other gases in it.
Lol, he'd be a good MST3K Joel.
Nah, he's way too nice. Every riff would be like "That was an, uh, interesting choice" or "Okay, I can kinda see what they were going for there".
next time you do this coat the apples with some acidic juice. such as lemon or lime
to prevent the browning
holy shit, that sounds good O.o
That would be so awesome with honeydew or cantaloupe
yum
This should become commercial.
oh no, I forgot to capitalise Solo.
try it whit an orange
A touch of lemon juice will prevent them browning. ;)
how about carbonated grapes :)
Hi - next time, just dip the apples in some water with a lemon to keep the oxidation from the apples.
oh. my. god.
I expected them to come out looking like Han solo ;P
damn.
do lemon slices :D
Try with bananas and oranges!
LoL. Uploaded on 2011.11.11.
So basically your are carbonating almost anything... cool...
i'm sorry but this just cought me funny as all get out.
ok i'm sure those would end up making carbonated apple slush after a few minuts sitting in the open lol
But it's somting i HAVE to try LOL maby i'll do whole apples tho :)
i'm still laughing. while typing here :p. and i JUST so happen to have a presure vessel handy for this :)
Carbonate a potato then make fries
CO2 woul leave potatoes almost immediately.
thts how apple cider is made :D
"... easy way to make fruit more interesting." You have a somewhat warped idea of "easy"... ;-)
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
