Abstract

This study aimed to identify public awareness regarding the halal status of cough medicines containing alcohol in Indonesia. Although Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population, many medicines in Indonesia still contain substances prohibited by Islam, such as alcohol. This research employs a qualitative approach with a literature review to explore the community’s understanding and behavior toward halal-certified medicines. The findings revealed that public awareness regarding the halal status of cough medicines is relatively low. Many respondents did not consistently check for halal logos or ingredients on medicine packaging. Additionally, it is difficult to obtain clear and reliable information about the halal status of these medicines. The study concluded that increased educational and social efforts are necessary to enhance public knowledge and prioritization of halal medicines. Ensuring accessible information on halal certification is crucial for promoting the consumption of halal products, particularly in the health sector.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of health issues such as diabetes, obesity, and hypertension due to excessive sugar consumption has prompted the need for healthier sugar alternatives. This study investigates the production of healthy sugar using coconut sap enriched with winter melon (Benincasa hispida) extract, which offers various health benefits, including anti-diabetic properties. The production process employed a vacuum rotary evaporator at controlled temperatures (50–80°C) to preserve the nutritional and physical qualities of the sugar while minimizing adverse effects of traditional methods. The study assessed sugar composition, crystallization behavior, and product yield. Results showed that the addition of winter melon extract enhanced antioxidant properties and functional value, while varying sugar seed concentrations improved crystallization, yield (up to 10.48%), and color stability. This research contributes to developing low-glycemic, nutritious sugar alternatives, meeting the increasing demand for healthier sweeteners.
