Ese amagi agomba kubikwa muri firigo?

"Muganga, umugabo wanjye azana amagi ayashyira yose muri firigo. Ariko mama aravuga ko atari byiza gushyira amagi muri firigo, agomba kubikwa hanze. Ni nde ufite ukuri, muganga?"

Umunsi umwe, Madamu Alwis, waje kwa muganga wanjye, yambajije abitewe n'amatsiko. Ni ikibazo abantu benshi bibaza niba koko bagomba kubika amagi muri firigo cyangwa batagomba kuyabika.

Bamwe bavuga ko amagi agomba kubikwa muri firigo. Abandi bakavuga ko ashobora gukoreshwa mu gihe cy'ukwezi nta kibazo nubwo yaba asigaye hanze.

None rero uyu munsi, reka tuganire ku cyo siyansi y'ubuvuzi n'amabwiriza yemewe ku isi yose yerekeye umutekano w'ibiribwa avuga kuri ibi.

Kuki uburyo amagi aterwa butandukanye bitewe n'ibi bihugu?

Ushobora kuba warabonye kuri televiziyo cyangwa kuri interineti ko mu bihugu nka Amerika, amagi abikwa muri firigo mu maduka manini. Ariko, mu bihugu nka Sri Lanka n'Ubwongereza, amagi abikwa ku bubiko. Kuki iri tandukaniro ririho?

Muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, amagi yogezwa n'isabune zidasanzwe n'imiti yica udukoko mbere yo kugurishwa. Ibi bikuraho burundu urwego rw'uburinzi karemano (cuticle) ku buso bw'igi. Kubwibyo, agomba gushyirwa muri firigo kuko ibyago byo kwandura mikorobe mu magi ari byinshi.

Ariko, muri Sri Lanka, Ubwongereza n'ibihugu by'i Burayi, amagi ntagezwa mbere yo kugurishwa. Kubwibyo, agahu karemano ko kurinda ku buso bw'igi rigumaho. Ibi birinda ko mikorobe zinjira hanze, bityo zikaba zishobora kubikwa hanze ku bushyuhe busanzwe bw'icyumba.

Ni ubuhe buryo bwiza bwo kwa muganga?

Nk’uko Ikigo gishinzwe ibiribwa mu Bwongereza (FSA) n’inzobere mu by’ubuzima babivuga, uburyo bwiza kandi bwizewe bwo kubika amagi mu rugo ni muri firigo .

Impamvu nyamukuru ibitera ni ukwirinda kwandura Salmonella, bagiteri ikunze kuboneka mu magi.

Salmonella ni bagiteri itera impiswi zikomeye, kuruka, umuriro, no kuribwa mu gifu, ndetse ishobora no gutera umwuma n'urupfu. Kubika amagi ku bushyuhe buri munsi ya dogere selisiyusi 20 bishobora kubuza burundu gukura kwa bagiteri ya Salmonella.

Ikosa rikomeye ushobora gukora iyo ubitse amagi muri firigo

Niba ufite amagi muri firigo, hari itegeko rimwe ry'ingenzi ugomba kwibuka: Iyo amagi amaze gushyirwa muri firigo, ntagomba gusigara hanze igihe kirekire.

Iyo igi rikonje rivuye muri firigo risubijwe ku bushyuhe bw'icyumba, amazi ahinduka ku buso bw'igi ry'igi. Utu dutonyanga twemerera bagiteri za Salmonella ziturutse hanze y'igi kwinjira mu gi ri mu buryo bworoshye binyuze mu mwenge muto uri mu gi ry'igi maze zigakura vuba.

Nanone, si byiza kubika amagi mu gasanduku k'amagi ku muryango wa firigo. Ibi biterwa nuko ubushyuhe bukikije umuryango buhinduka buri gihe iyo dufunguye firigo. Uku guhinduka k'ubushyuhe bituma amagi yangirika vuba.

Ni gute wabika amagi neza?

Kurikiza izi nama kugira ngo ukomeze kugira ubuziranenge n'umutekano by'amagi:

• Bika hamwe n'ipaki y'umwimerere: Shyira agasanduku k'amakarito cyangwa ipaki yaguzwemo amagi, ku gipangu cyo hagati cya firigo. Ibi bizafasha kugumana ubushyuhe buhamye no gukumira amagi gukurura impumuro mbi ituruka ku bindi biribwa.
• Ntukaraba amagi: Ntukaraba amagi mbere yo kuyashyira muri firigo. Kuyamesa bishobora gukuraho ibara ry’uburinzi bw’umwimerere kandi bigatuma mikorobe zinjira. Iyo bibaye ngombwa, banza uhanagure hejuru mbere yo kuyateka.
• Kura amagi yamenetse: Irinde kurya igi niba igishishwa gifite agace cyangwa igiti.

Ibyo gukora n'ibyo udakwiye gukora

Inkomoko za siyansi (Inyandiko z'ubushakashatsi)

• 📚 Ikigo gishinzwe ibipimo by'ibiribwa - GOV.UK Amabwiriza agenga ibiribwa byo mu rugo
• 📚 Iperereza ku icyorezo cy’amateka cy’ibimera bya Salmonella mu magi ku isi - PubMed Central (PMC)
• 📚 Uburyo bwo kugura, kubika no gutegura amagi n'inkoko ku baguzi bo mu bihugu byatoranijwe byo muri Aziya - PubMed Central (PMC)

Ubutumwa bw'ingenzi cyane bwo kujyana mu rugo

• Kugira ngo ukomeze kugira agahu karemano ko kurinda amagi ku gishishwa cy'igi, ugomba kwirinda burundu koza amagi mbere yo kuyashyira muri firigo.
• Gusiga amagi amaze igihe kinini afungishijwe muri firigo ku bushyuhe bw'icyumba bishobora gutuma amazi atangira kugaragara hejuru yayo, bigatuma ibyago byo kwandura udukoko twa Salmonella byinjiramo.
• Uburyo bwizewe bwo kubika amagi mu rugo ni ukuyashyira mu ipaki imwe yaguzwemo, ku gipangu cyo hagati cya firigo (ahantu hari ubushyuhe budahinduka).
