Abstract

The demand for halal-certified products is increasing globally, particularly in the food industry, where gelatin—a key ingredient in numerous products—often comes from animal sources, raising concerns for halal dietary compliance. This research focuses on developing plant-based alternatives to gelatin, specifically designed to meet halal certification standards. The primary objective of this study is to explore the chemical engineering processes involved in producing gelatin alternatives from plant-based sources, ensuring they meet the physical, chemical, and sensory properties required for food applications. Using a combination of plant-based polysaccharides, such as agar, carrageenan, and pectin, this study employs extraction, hydrolysis, and gelling techniques to develop suitable alternatives. The research utilizes a systematic approach, including experimental trials, chemical analyses, and sensory evaluations, to assess the functional and sensory qualities of the plant-based gelatin alternatives. Results indicate that certain plant-derived alternatives exhibit comparable gelling, stability, and texture to traditional gelatin, while also adhering to halal certification requirements. The study concludes that plant-based gelatin alternatives offer a promising, sustainable solution for the halal food industry, with potential applications in a wide range of products such as confectionery, dairy, and pharmaceuticals. These findings provide valuable insights into the development of halal-compliant, plant-based food ingredients, contributing to both innovation and sustainability in the food industry.

Abstract

Digital transformation in language education has reshaped how adolescent second language (L2) learners engage with writing, particularly through multimodal pedagogies such as digital storytelling, which offer new spaces for expression and identity construction. This study aims to investigate the longitudinal impact of digital storytelling on the development of syntactic complexity and authorial voice among adolescent L2 writers. A longitudinal mixed-methods design was employed involving forty-eight secondary school learners over one academic semester. Data were collected through three phases of digital storytelling scripts, analyzed using corpus-based syntactic complexity indices, complemented by qualitative textual analysis and learner reflections. The results demonstrate significant and sustained growth in syntactic complexity, including increased clause embedding, sentence elaboration, and structural variation across time. Qualitative findings indicate that these syntactic developments were closely associated with stronger authorial voice, reflected in clearer narrative stance, evaluative language, and enhanced writer presence. The findings suggest that digital storytelling supports syntactic development as a meaning-driven and functional process rather than a purely formal outcome. The study concludes that sustained integration of digital storytelling in L2 writing instruction can effectively foster both linguistic sophistication and expressive agency among adolescent learners, highlighting the pedagogical value of longitudinal, narrative-based digital writing practices globally today.
