Abstract

The public needs curcumin because it has strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. As the human population increases, agricultural land decreases. Increasing the curcumin content in red turmeric is necessary to maintain its availability. This research aims to optimize production results and red turmeric's curcumin, magnesium, iron, and oxalic acid content. This research uses a magnetic field (MF) whose magnetic flux density (MFD) changes over time; the exposure time was 20 minutes and repeated every day for five days. The results showed that exposure to 0.2 mT MFD increased production by 42.96% and iron content by 13.20%. Exposure to 0.3 mT MFD increased curcumin content by 85.95% and magnesium by 33.39%. Exposure to 0.7 mT MFD increased the oxalic acid content by 4.04%. Not all essential substances contained in turmeric change due to MF processing. Using MF with an MFD that changes over time requires a low value
