The effectiveness of exposure to magnetic fields of extremely low frequency 300T and 500T in inhibiting the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria to increase physical resistance of vannamei shrimp

Abstract

Vannamei shrimp is a type of fish that rots easily, only able to survive about 6 hours at room temperature. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of exposure to an Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) magnetic field with an intensity of 300 T and 500 T in inhibiting the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria to increase the physical resistance of white vaname shrimp. The research design used a completely randomized design and was carried out at the Physics Laboratory of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, University of Jember. The Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) magnetic field in this study is a component of the ELF electromagnetic wave generated by the Current Transformer by minimizing the exposure to the ELF electric field to about 30 V/m. The study sample was 210 fresh vaname shrimp and divided into 7 treatment groups, namely the control group (K), the group exposed to the ELF magnetic field intensity of 300 T for 60 minutes (E-300.60’), 90 minutes (E-300.90’), 120 minutes (E-300.120’), and the group exposed to an ELF magnetic field of 500 T intensity for 60 minutes (E-500.60’), 90 minutes (E-500.90’), 120 minutes (E-500,120’). As an indicator of vaname shrimp resistance at room temperature is the population of pathogenic bacteria, color, aroma, texture, mucus, and pH. The research data were analyzed using One Way Anova analysis. The results showed that the population of Salmonella bacteria was significantly lower than the control in the vannamei shrimp sample exposed to an ELF magnetic field of 500 T, but the population of E.Coli bacteria increased significantly in the vannamei shrimp sample exposed to an ELF magnetic field of 300 T and 500 T compared to control. Naturally, vaname shrimp stored at room temperature showed the appearance of the shrimp getting paler, and the texture getting softer, smelling rotten and slimy after the 6th hour. However, the color, smell, and texture of shrimp exposed to an ELF magnetic field of 500 T intensity for 120 minutes were able to survive at a score of 8 at the 5th hour observation and 7th at the 10th hour observation. Conclusion: Exposure to an ELF magnetic field with an intensity of 500 T was effective in suppressing the proliferation of salmonella Sp bacteria but was less effective in suppressing the proliferation of E.Coli bacteria. This condition affects the physical condition of white shrimp until it lasts at the 10th hour. The results of this study serve as the basis for developing food security technology by the ELF magnetic field.

Physical Quality of Cow's Milk by Exposure to Magnetic Fields Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) 300 μT and 500 μT by inhibiting Salmonella and Escherichia Coli Growth

“…In general, Salmonella grows actively at a pH between 3.6-9.5 and is optimal at a pH close to normal [33]. It has been reported that exposure to the ELF magnetic field (500 µT, 50 Hz) for 120 minutes has been shown to suppress the proliferation of salmonella sp on vannamei shrimp [35].…”

Complex magnetic fields represent an eco-sustainable technology to counteract the resistant Candida albicans growth without affecting the human gingival fibroblasts

“…In fact, the exposition to the EMFs in the range of the interest don’t cause a negative effect on the patient and on the operator or other people according to the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection guidelines. The exposure to extremely low-frequency magnetic fields inhibits the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms, such as Salmonella , E. coli or C. albicans 17 , 18 . The alternating magnetic field of 50 Hz affected the C. albicans viability, representing a new strategy for Candida infections 19 .…”

Resistance of Broiler Meat through Exposure to Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Fields of 700 µT and 900 µT Intensities and Safety Risks to Health

“…Nowadays, study findings indicate that the presence of extremely low-frequency (ELF) magnetic fields can impede the growth and reproduction of bacteria. For instance, research has demonstrated that being exposed to an extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic field with a strength of 500 µT effectively hinders the growth of salmonella bacteria in Vanamae shrimp and cow's milk (Sudarti et al, 2022a;Sudarti et al, 2022b). A magnetic field strength of 900 µT can help preserve the vitamin C content in red wine by suppressing the growth of harmful bacteria (Sudarti et al, 2022c).…”
