Abstract

The PORTECT Porcine Detection Kit is an innovative solution leveraging CRISPR-Cas technology for rapid and accurate detection of porcine DNA in food products, addressing the growing demand for halal certification. This system uses a guide RNA (gRNA) designed specifically to recognize and target porcine DNA sequences, triggering Cas12 enzymes to cleave the DNA and a reporter compound for a visual color change. This process allows for precise, fast, and efficient detection of non-halal substances. Unlike traditional methods like PCR and ELISA, which require complex procedures, the PORTECT kit offers a more accessible and time-saving approach to halal verification, ensuring consumer trust and regulatory compliance. The technology is developed with bioinformatics tools and produces highly specific gRNA to target the porcine gene. The kit demonstrates significant potential in both the halal food industry and the general market for DNA detection tools, but future developments aim to lower production costs and expand detection capabilities beyond porcine DNA.

Abstract

Halal agri food sector is influenced by rapid transformation driven by growing global demand, increased consumer awareness of health and ethical considerations, as well as advances in technology. Therefore, this research aimed to discuss the importance of maintaining halal integrity in food production, processing, and distribution, particularly in the era of Industry 4.0. Key drivers of innovation were explored, including the expanding Muslim population, evolving consumer preferences, and increasing sustainability concerns. The impact of technology such as blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) on enhancing traceability and transparency in halal supply chain was reported. Strategies for future development comprised raising public awareness, integrating halal assurance systems with advanced technology, and strengthening collaboration among governments, industry stakeholders, and certification bodies. Significant challenges were also addressed, including fragmented global halal standards, complex certification processes, and high implementation costs. Halal agri-food sector can achieve sustainable growth and remain competitive in the global market by accepting technological innovation and enhancing cooperation among stakeholders.
