Abstract: The by-products of industrially processed fish are enzymatically converted into fish protein isolates and
hydrolysates having a wide biological activity and nutritional properties. However the heat processing may cause their thermal
denaturation thereby causing the conformational changes in them. The present study utilized the strategy of biofield energy
treatment and analysed its impact on various properties of the fish peptone as compared to the untreated control sample. The
fish peptone sample was divided into two parts one part was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield treatment coded as the treated
sample and another part was coded as the control. The impact of biofield treatment was analysed through various analytical
techniques and results were compared with the control sample. The particle size data revealed 4.61 increase in the average
particle size d
50
along with 2.66 reduction in the surface area of the treated sample as compared to the control. The X-ray
diffraction studies revealed the amorphous nature of the fish peptone sample however no alteration was found in the
diffractogram of the treated sample with respect to the control. The Fourier transform infrared studies showed the alterations in
the frequency of peaks corresponding to N-H C-H CO C-N and C-OH functional groups in the treated sample as compared
to the control. The differential scanning calorimetry data revealed the increase in transition enthalpy ∆H from -71.14 J/g
control to -105.32 J/g in the treated sample. The thermal gravimetric analysis data showed the increase in maximum thermal
degradation temperature T
max
from 213.31°C control to 221.38°C along with a reduction in the percent weight loss of the
treated sample during the thermal degradation event. These data revealed the increase in thermal stability of the treated fish
peptone and suggested that the biofield energy treatment may be used to improve the thermal stability of the heat sensitive
compounds.

1. Introduction
The fisheries industry is a major source of income for
various countries worldwide. However the industrially
processed fish that is utilized for human consumption yields
more than 3.17 million tons by-products per year 1. These
by-products require proper disposal and hence creates the
huge revenue loss to the seafood industry 2. Therefore the
emphasis was done to find the new uses for these waste by-
products. In recent years several advancements in
biotechnology field utilize the marine by-products and
convert them into some product of interest 3. It includes
their conversion in protein isolates and hydrolysates having
functional food properties and natural food antioxidants 4.
The protein converts into smaller peptides through enzymatic
conversion and their breakdown products yield protein
hydrolysates. Many researchers have reported the biological
activity and nutritional values of protein hydrolysates
through their bioactive peptides 5 6.
The peptones are a mixture of polypeptides and amino
acids that are used in several biotechnological applications.
They are derived from the acid or enzymatic hydrolysis of
natural products such as bovine or porcine meat milk yeasts
and plants. The peptones are mainly used in the production of
slide 2: 52 Mahendra Kumar Trivedi et al.: Physical Spectroscopic and Thermal Characterization of Biofield Treated Fish Peptone
media for fermentation tissue culture and vaccine stabilizers
7. The main source of peptone is animal tissues however it
faces the problem of bovine spongiform encephalopathy a
neurodegenerative disease and commonly known as mad cow
disease. The main cause of this disease is a specific type of
misfolded protein prion and transmitted to the healthy
animals through infected sheep and goats 8. The problems
related to animal tissue peptones and their increased
demand as raw material focuses the attention towards fish
peptones due to their non-meat origin free from swine-flu
and inexpensive as derived from fish by-products 9 10.
Further researches proved fish peptone as a source of high
protein and a balance of amino acids hence used as the
main source of industrial peptones. The peptones as a
source of nitrogen become the most expensive part of
growth media in the fermentation industry 11. Besides
during processing such kind of products are subjected to
various thermal treatments to inactivate the antinutritional
factors remove allergens and to obtain the required
solubility and texture 12. However they may face the
problem of some conformational changes due to their
thermal denaturation during heating that might affect their
solubility stability and shelf-life 13 14. Therefore it
creates the need for some alternative strategies that may
help to improve the stability related issues of this
compound in a cost-effective manner.
The biofield energy treatment was reported as a measure
for increasing the thermal stability of some organic
products 15. It is a putative form of energy that surrounds
the body of all living organisms and can be exchanged with
the environment 16 17. A human can harness the energy
from the environment or universe and can transmit it to any
living or non-living object. The objects will receive the
energy and respond to useful way this process is termed as
biofield treatment. It is reported for the efficacy and
benefits in cancer and arthritis patients 18 19. Moreover
Mr. Trivedi is also well known for his unique biofield
energy treatment The Trivedi Effect
®
. It was reported for
its impact on the plants 20 microorganisms 21 and
culture medium 22. Hence the present work was aimed to
treat the fish peptone by Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy and
evaluate the impact on the physicochemical properties and
stability of the fish peptone using various analytical
techniques viz. particle size analyser surface area analyser
X-ray diffraction Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy
UV-visible spectroscopy differential scanning calorimetry
and thermogravimetric analysis.
2. Materials and Methods
The fish peptone was procured from HiMedia
Laboratories India. In treatment methodology the fish
peptone sample was divided into two equal parts in which
one part was coded as the control and another part as the
treated. The treated part was handed over in sealed pack to
Mr. Trivedi under standard laboratory conditions. Mr. Trivedi
provided the biofield energy treatment to this part treated
through his unique energy transmission process without
touching the sample. The control part was kept untreated.
The impact of biofield treatment on the treated sample was
subsequently analysed as compared to the control sample
using various analytical techniques.
2.1. Particle Size Analysis
The SYMPATEC HELOS-BF laser particle size analyser
was used for the determination of particle size of the control
and treated samples. The analyser was having a detection
range of 0.1 µm to 875 µm. The parameters determined in the
analysis were d
50
average particle size and d
99
size below
which 99 of the particles are present.
2.2. Surface Area Analysis
The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller BET surface area analyser
Smart SORB 90 was used to calculate the surface area of the
control and treated samples.
2.3. X-Ray Diffraction XRD Study
The X-ray powder diffractograms were recorded using
Phillips Holland PW 1710 X-ray diffractometer that uses
1.54056Å wavelength of radiation. The X-ray generator was
operating at 35kV and 20mA and equipped with a copper
anode with nickel filter. The diffractograms of control and
treated samples were analysed to determine the nature of the
sample i.e. crystalline or amorphous and XRD of treated
sample was compared with the control to analyse any
difference between them.
2.4. Fourier Transform-Infrared FT-IR Spectroscopic
Characterization
The Shimadzu’s Fourier transform infrared spectrometer
Japan was used for recording the FT-IR spectra of the
control and treated samples in the frequency range 4000-450
cm
-1
. The spectra were obtained in the form of wavenumber
1/cm vs. percent transmittance T. The peaks obtained
from the spectra of control and treated samples were assigned
on the basis of functional groups present in the sample. The
frequency of the peaks corresponding to the functional
groups were compared in the control and treated samples for
analysing the impact of biofield energy with respect to the
bond length and bond angle of those functional groups.
2.5. UV-Visible UV-Vis Spectroscopic Characterization
The UV-Vis spectral analysis was carried out using
Shimadzu UV-2400 PC series spectrophotometer. The
spectra of the control and treated samples were recorded
using 1 cm quartz cell that has a slit width of 2.0 nm.
2.6. Differential Scanning Calorimetric DSC Analysis
The DSC analysis of control and treated samples was
carried out using model Perkin Elmer/Pyris-1. The samples
were heated at a rate of 10°C/min under air atmosphere 5
mL/min. The thermograms were collected over the
slide 3: European Journal of Biophysics 2015 36: 51-58 53
temperature range of 50°C to 300°C. Any differences in the
transition temperature and transition enthalpy were recorded
from the thermogram to determine the impact of biofield
energy treatment on the treated sample with respect to the
control.
2.7. Thermogravimetric Analysis / Derivative
Thermogravimetry TGA/DTG
The thermal stability profile of fish peptone was analysed
using Mettler Toledo simultaneous thermogravimetric analyser
TGA/DTG. The temperature range was selected from room
temperature to 400ºC and a heating rate of 5ºC/min under air
atmosphere. The impact of biofield treatment was analysed by
comparing the pattern of degradation maximum degradation
temperature and percent weight loss of the treated sample as
compared to the control sample.
3. Results and Discussion
3.1. Particle Size Analysis
Fig. 1. Percent change in particle size and surface area of the treated fish
peptone as compared to the control.
The particle size analysis data depicted that the d
50
and d
99
were 23.44 and 120.17 µm respectively in the control
sample. However in treated sample the d
50
and d
99
were
found as 24.52 and 124.11 µm respectively. The percent
change observed in the particles sizes of the biofield treated
sample with respect to the control is depicted in Fig. 1. It
revealed that d
50
was increased by 4.61 and d
99
was
increased by 3.28 in the treated sample as compared to the
control. The protein molecules have a tendency to aggregate
through the weak interactions 23. Moreover the
temperature has a significant impact on the aggregation rate
24. Hence it is assumed that the biofield energy treatment
might provide some energy to the sample that resulted in the
slight increase in the particle size of the treated sample
through the process of aggregation.
3.2. Surface Area Analysis
The surface area of control and treated samples of fish
peptone was investigated using BET method. The data
reported that the control sample had a surface area of 0.188
m
2
/g however the treated sample had a surface area of 0.183
m
2
/g. It showed that the surface area was decreased by 2.66
Fig. 1 in the treated sample as compared to the control. The
effective surface area is inversely related to the particle size
of the compound 25. Thus the slight decrease in surface
area might be attributed to the increase in the particle size of
the treated sample after biofield treatment.
3.3. X-Ray Diffraction XRD
The X-ray powder diffractograms of control and treated
samples of fish peptone are shown in Fig. 2. The XRD
pattern of the control sample did not contain any diffraction
maxima which indicated that the molecules were internally
disordered and glassy in nature. The glassy material showed
one broad peak that resulted due to short range ordering of
the molecules as compared to the long-range order in a
crystal 26. The diffractogram of the treated sample also
showed similar XRD pattern indicated that biofield energy
treatment may not cause any alteration in the ordering of the
molecules of fish peptone sample.

3.4. FT-IR Spectroscopic Analysis
The FT-IR spectra of fish peptone control and treated
samples are shown in Fig. 3. The fish peptone contains
mainly proteins and carbohydrates 27. Hence the major
vibration peaks observed Table 1 were assigned to the
functional groups present in these ingredients. The peak at

might get merged with the C-H stretching peaks 28.
Besides in the treated sample the peak was shifted to a lower
frequency at 3066 cm
-1
. Similarly the C-H stretching peaks
of carbohydrates were appeared at 2993 and 2893 cm
-1
in the
control sample whereas in the treated sample the peaks
were appeared at 2976 and 2885 cm
-1
. Besides the C-H
stretching peak of CH
2
group attached to -O- of lactone ring
present in carbohydrate was observed at higher frequency i.e.
at 2835 cm
-1
as compared to the control 2815 cm
-1
. The
peak observed at 1753 cm
-1
in the control sample was
assigned to the CO stretching of the lactone ring that was
not observed in the treated sample. Moreover the peak at
1635 cm
-1
in the control was assigned to the NH
2
deformation and CO stretching of the amide present in the
peptone. However the corresponding peak was shifted to
1643 cm
-1
in the treated sample. Similarly the peak observed
at 1589 cm
-1
in the control sample was assigned to the NH
2
deformation of amino acids and ring stretching of the
benzene ring. The corresponding peak was appeared at 1579
cm
-1
in the treated sample. The peaks due to aliphatic CH
3
scissoring and bending were observed at 1438 and 1340 cm
-1
in the control sample however the corresponding peaks were
observed at 1458 and 1342 cm
-1
in the treated sample. The O-
H in-plane bend and C-N stretching of amide group present
in amino acids showed a peak at 1400 cm
-1
in the control and
1402 cm
-1
in the treated sample. Similarly the -C-O-C-
stretching peak of the lactone ring was observed at 1245 and
1247 cm
-1
in the control and treated samples respectively
28. Besides the N-H bending peak of pyrrole ring C-N
stretching peak of pyrazole ring present in proteins was
appeared at 1151 cm
-1
in the control sample 29 30 whereas
at 1118 cm
-1
in the treated sample. The C-OH stretching peak
of carbohydrates was observed at 1072 cm
-1
in the control
and 1085 cm
-1
in the treated sample. The C-H out of plane
bending peak of pyrazole ring in was observed at the same
frequency in both the control and treated samples i.e. at 921
cm
-1
. Similarly the peaks due to OC-O bend of carboxylic
acid and -N-CO bend of amide group present in amino acids
were observed at nearly same frequencies in both the samples
i.e. at 617 and 536 cm
-1
in the control and 619 and 536 cm
-1
in the treated sample respectively.

The observation showed the alterations in the frequency of
several peaks in the treated sample such as N-H C-H CO
C-N C-OH etc. as compared to the control. It revealed that
the biofield energy treatment might have an impact on the
bond length bond angle or dipole moment of the
corresponding functional groups in the treated sample.
However further analysis is required to determine the effect
of biofield energy on the particular functional group and its
impact on the properties of fish peptone sample.
3.5. UV-Vis Spectroscopic Analysis
The UV spectrum of control sample showed the absorption
peak at λ
max
equal to 258 nm. The biofield treated sample
also showed absorption peak at similar wavelength i.e. 259
nm. It showed that the biofield energy treatment had not
affected the HOMO→LUMO transition within the
components of fish peptone sample.
3.6. DSC Analysis
The DSC thermograms of control and treated samples of
fish peptone are presented in Fig. 4. The thermogram of
control sample showed a broad endothermic peak in the
range of 193°C-197°C. The broadness of peak confirmed the
amorphous nature of the sample as evident from the XRD
studies. Moreover the DSC can be used in the evaluation of
stability of the sample by determining the temperature at the
maximum point of the endothermic curve T
m
31. The
DSC thermogram of the control sample showed T
m
at
197.14°C. This temperature can be considered as the
denaturation temperature of the control sample 32.
Furthermore the treated sample showed the endothermic
curve in the range of 189°C-200°C and the T
m
was reported
at 197.20°C. The results of control and treated samples do
not reveal any significant alteration in the denaturation
temperature T
m
however the major difference was
observed in the transition enthalpy ∆H during this event.
The control sample showed the ∆H of -71.14 J/g whereas the
treated sample showed ∆H of -105.32 J/g. It revealed that the
biofield treated sample required 31.14 J/g more energy to
undergo the process of denaturation that might be related to
the increased thermal stability of the treated sample as
compared to the control.
Fig. 4. DSC thermograms of control and treated samples of fish peptone.
3.7. TGA/DTG Analysis
The TGA/DTG studies analyse the change in the mass of
the sample and thereby measure the physical or chemical
changes that may occur within the sample during the heat
treatment. This method is also used as a complementary to
the DSC technique 33. These techniques were used to
determine the thermal stability of the sample. The TGA/DTG
thermograms of the control and treated samples of fish
peptone are reported in Fig. 5. The TGA thermograms of
both samples showed the presence of two-step degradation.
In the control sample the first step showed an onset
temperature of 195°C and an endset of about 240°C which
involved a weight loss of 16.76 of the sample. On the other
hand the treated sample showed an onset temperature of
193°C and the endset of 250°C with a weight loss of 12.96
slide 6: 56 Mahendra Kumar Trivedi et al.: Physical Spectroscopic and Thermal Characterization of Biofield Treated Fish Peptone
in the first step of degradation. The TGA results were similar
to the data revealed by DSC studies and suggested that the
onset temperature of weight loss in control and treated
samples were due to the thermal degradation of the samples.
However the treated sample lost less weight as compared to
the control sample that might be due to increase in the
thermal stability of the treated sample after biofield
treatment. Moreover the second step of degradation in the
control sample commenced at 260°C is also delayed by 8°C
and observed at 268°C in the treated sample. Besides DTG
thermogram data showed that T
max
was observed at 213.31°C
in the control sample while 221.38°C in the treated fish
peptone. It indicated that T
max
was increased in the treated
sample as compared to the control. Furthermore the
reduction in percent weight loss and the increase in T
max
in
the treated sample of fish peptone with respect to the control
sample may be correlated with the increased thermal
stability. The biofield treatment was also reported for
increasing the thermal stability in casein enzyme hydrolysate
and casein yeast peptone 34. Hence it is assumed that the
biofield energy treatment might induce the aggregation of the
molecules of treated sample through the weak intermolecular
interactions that resulted in increased thermal stability.
Besides as reported earlier during processing the thermal
treatment can cause the denaturation of such type of
compounds and result in the conformational changes. These
changes might affect the solubility and stability of compound
along with their long term storage 13 14. Hence the
biofield treatment might be used as an effective measure to
increase the thermal stability thereby increasing the stability
efficacy and shelf-life of these compounds.

4. Conclusions
The biofield treated fish peptone reported the increased
particle sizes d
50
and d
99
suggesting the aggregation of
molecules that might occur due to the impact of biofield
energy. The slight reduction in surface area was also revealed
in the treated sample as compared to the control that supported
the impact of biofield energy on the particle size. The XRD
studies revealed the amorphous nature of fish peptone sample
however no significant alteration was observed in the
diffractogram of treated sample as compared to the control.
The FT-IR spectroscopy results suggested some alteration in
the frequency of peaks of various functional groups in the
treated sample such as N-H C-H CO C-N C-OH etc. that
slide 7: European Journal of Biophysics 2015 36: 51-58 57
may be due to the impact of biofield energy treatment on the
bond length bond angle or the dipole moment corresponding
to these groups. Moreover the DSC analysis revealed the
increase in transition enthalpy during degradation of the
treated sample that suggested the increased need for energy by
the treated sample to undergone the degradation process as
compared to the control. The TGA/DTG studies depicted the
increase in T
max
and reduced percent weight loss of the treated
sample as compared to the control. Hence the DSC and
TGA/DTG studies showed the increased thermal stability of
the treated sample. Thus it can be concluded that the biofield
treated fish peptone sample may be more thermally stable as
compared to the control and the biofield energy treatment
could be used as an alternative strategy for improving the
thermal stability of different compounds.
