Abstract

The cosmetics and personal care industry has emerged as one of the most prominent and fastest-growing markets, especially among millennials worldwide. The halal cosmetics industry is also important to today's young generation. They and social media technology have become an important part of consumer research. This study explores the factors determining the millennial generation's choice of halal cosmetics. This study used the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) method with 202 millennial respondents from Indonesia and Malaysia. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test result is 0.723%, indicating a middling sampling. The Bartlett test result shows a value of 1848,828 with a significance level of 0.0000 < 0.05, indicating a correlation between the variables. There are no statements with a score of less than 0.5 after the communalities checking. As a result, every statement can be used more thoroughly in this research. Based on the results, six main factors can increase the millennial generation's interest in making choices about halal cosmetics: social media campaign, influencer trustworthiness, halal awareness, brand curiosity in social media, cosmetics advertisement language, and brand trust and product quality.

Abstract

The cosmetics industry consistently requires up-to-date research to develop effective marketing strategies that attract consumers and build their trust. This research aims to analyze how Millennials perceive halal labels and brand image in relation to their purchasing decisions for cosmetics. The study utilized an associative research method with a quantitative approach, employing purposive sampling and a questionnaire as its instrument. Data was processed using structural equation modeling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS) analysis. The findings indicate a strong positive correlation between the perception of halal labels and Millennials' purchasing decisions for cosmetics, as halal certification is a crucial factor for this demographic. Additionally, the study found that a positive brand image also significantly influences purchasing decisions, as consumers prefer products that are recognized for their quality, safety, and popularity. The practical implications for the cosmetics industry are evident: understanding the factors that drive purchasing decisions can help companies make the best strategic choices. It is recommended that companies consistently maintain halal certification on their products and focus on building a strong brand image, as both factors play a critical role in influencing consumer decisions.

Abstract

Halal business practices are developing in majority-Muslim countries and within companies in Muslim minority countries such as Finland. It consistently shows an interest in developing the halal industry, as evidenced by the development of companies that practice halal business in these countries. This study examines the factors influencing halal company practices while offering halal goods or services in Finland, a nation with a large Muslim population. The surveys were given online and offline to Finnish businesses that have achieved halal certification as a data collection strategy. PLS-SEM, or partial least square-structural equation modeling, was used to analyze data from 32 replies. This study found that halal values and the spirit of innovation encourage Finnish companies to enter the halal business. In addition, companies' halal business practices in Finland are strongly influenced by the interaction between internal and external driving factors. Businesses in nations where Muslims make up the minority can be encouraged to engage in halal commerce in several ways. Individuals who are aware of halal's advantages, are drawn to innovation, are under external pressure to conduct halal business and have internal circumstances that allow them to view the halal business phenomena as a chance to advance their nation's commercial interests.

Abstract

The Indonesian government has developed a comprehensive halal certification program through the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Body (BPJPH). However, the halal certification recording application requires enhancements due to its lack of data elements pertaining to micro and small enterprises (MSEs) with geographical or location references. Geographic Information System (GIS) technology can serve as a solution for data management in the halal industry, encompassing the management, monitoring and analysis of spatial-temporal and real-time data. This research is aimed at developing geospatial technology for industrial halal management within the scope of MSEs. Methods for developing geospatial technology-based management of halal industry applications use analysis, design, development and evaluation through the ArcGIS online platform developed by Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri). The findings of this research highlight the potential of geospatial technology in the halal industry. It can be effectively utilized to integrate and comprehensively manage halal industry data on a spatial basis, enabling performance monitoring of MSEs, halal product process assistance and the BPJPH. This technology allows for quick analysis of patterns, distributions, trends, associations and regional comparisons, providing valuable insights. Consequently, geospatial technology can support policy recommendations aimed at accelerating the halal certification process by mapping and analyzing relevant data based on geographic locations, facilitating a better understanding of spatial distribution and relationships within the halal industry. This research successfully develops geospatial technology for managing halal industries within MSEs, enabling comprehensive data integration and spatial analysis. The findings highlight its potential to enhance monitoring, support policy recommendations and accelerate the halal certification process.

Abstract

The swimming pool is a part of tourism, entertainment, and sports activities. The development of halal tourism demands swimming pool facilities that can better meet Sharia principles that benefit Muslim consumers. This study aims to reveal Sharia swimming pool management practices and explore why its customers choose Sharia swimming pools over conventional swimming pools. This research was conducted to reveal the halal lifestyle that has penetrated halal tourism, including swimming pools based on Sharia principles. This study uses a phenomenological approach to reveal the phenomenon of swimming pool practices and factors that affect its customers. This study interviewed 15 people with characteristics of high-intensity Sharia swimming pool use. It revealed that Islamic pool management practices include rules for members to enter, swimwear, facilities, and services provided. This study explores the factors influencing Islamic pool consumers by grouping them internally and externally. Internal factors impacting Sharia swimming pool users include comfort, halal lifestyle, and health. At the same time, the support of facilities, encouragement from others, and unpleasant experiences in public or traditional swimming pools are part of external factors. This study is expected to become a reference for Sharia swimming pool management practices and evidence of the findings of factors that encourage consumers to choose Sharia swimming pools.

Abstract

The Islamic fashion model in Indonesia continues to evolve in line with the increasing Muslim population. However, there is limited research on consumer perceptions and the role of religiosity in the context of halal fashion products. This research aims to investigate the influence of fashion uniqueness and consciousness on halal fashion purchase behavior with religiosity as a moderating variable. Halal fashion in this research emphasizes halal product standards in fashion. This research used a quantitative approach through a survey targeting Millennials and Gen Z individuals. A total of 186 respondents were obtained, deemed valid and complete. Additionally, this study used SemPLS-3 to validate hypotheses and evaluate the model. This analysis is considered appropriate as it can test several variable relationships simultaneously or in multivariate analysis. The findings of this study show that halal fashion purchase behavior is influenced by fashion uniqueness and consciousness. Both factors have a positive influence on halal fashion purchase behavior. However, religiosity does not impact halal purchase behavior, nor does it moderate the role of fashion uniqueness and consciousness variables on halal purchase behavior. It suggests that decisions to purchase halal fashion are more influenced by fashion uniqueness and awareness of its halal status rather than individual religiosity levels. This research highlights the need for a deeper understanding of consumer behavior in relation to religiosity and halal fashion, contributing to the fields of economics and social sciences.

Abstract

This research investigates the determinant factors influencing the purchasing decisions of Indonesian students in Taiwan regarding uncertified halal food products. Despite the growing demand for halal products globally, the uncertainty surrounding the halal status of certain food items poses challenges, particularly for Muslim consumers. This study focuses on Indonesian students in Taiwan due to their unique position as international students residing in a country where halal certification may be less prevalent compared to their home country. Data was collected via structured questionnaires distributed among Indonesian students in various universities across Taiwan through a quantitative approach. The study employed multiple regression analysis to examine the relationships between several key variables, including trust, halal awareness, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, religiousness and attitudes toward purchasing uncertified halal food products. The findings reveal significant insights into the factors influencing purchasing decisions in this context. Trust emerges as a crucial factor, indicating that consumers’ confidence in the halal status of products, despite lacking certification, significantly influences their purchasing attitudes. Furthermore, perceived behavioral control plays a significant role, reflecting individuals’ perceived ability to access and acquire uncertified halal products. Subjective norms also demonstrate a notable impact, reflecting the influence of social expectations and support from important reference groups. Interestingly, religiousness does not emerge as a significant determinant, suggesting that other factors may overshadow its influence in this context. Trust and perceived behavioral control significantly influence purchasing attitudes and decisions toward uncertified halal food products. In contrast, religiosity and halal awareness have less impact, suggesting the need for further research into additional factors that shape consumer behavior.

Abstract

In recent years, the development of probiotic-based fermented products with halal status has been a concern. The use of growth medium has relied on de Man Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) as a relatively expensive standard medium, and its halal status is still uncertain. Extensive research has been carried out to investigate the development of low-cost halal alternative media for the cultivation of probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB). This study aimed to develop a probiotic halal and low-cost culture medium using a tofu whey-based medium. This study used three tofu whey-based media – A (tofu whey 100%), B (tofu whey 94.5%, molasses 3%, skim milk 2.5%), C (tofu whey 92.5%, molasses 3%, cheese whey 2.5%, tomato extract 2%), and MRS broth as a standard medium. Bacterial populations, total sugars utilized, total lactic acids produced, low pH (2.0) tolerance, and high bile salt concentration (oxgall 1.5%) were assayed. The highest bacterial population after 48 h of incubation was shown by medium B compared to medium MRS (12.34 ± 0.87 and 11.48 ± 0.3 log CFU/mL). Total sugars utilized by 48.28 ± 2.89, 38.89 ± 6.94, 39.14 ± 4.24, and 76.00 ± 1.41 %; on the other hand, total lactic acids produced by 0.16 ± 0.12, 0.03 ± 0.04, 0.31 ± 0.03, and 2.25 ± 1.48 % in A, B, C, and MRS, respectively. Probiotic tolerance at low pH and the presence of bile salts of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum D4 consistently showed a high survival rate in medium B compared to MRS. Based on these results, the components and proportions used in medium B were suitable for the growth of L. plantarum D4 as a halal probiotic starter candidate.

Abstract

As the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia has a substantial opportunity to establish itself as a leading halal tourism destination. However, realizing this potential faces challenges related to the provision of halal facilities and the enforcement of government regulations. This research aims to analyze the development of halal tourism in the Sis Aljufri Religious Area based on local wisdom with reference to the Indonesian Ulema Council halal tourism guidelines. This qualitative research uses Miles and Huberman analysis. The study reveals that the development of halal tourism in this area can be categorized into four aspects: products and services, government support, human resources, and infrastructure. While the development of tourist attractions aligns with the general principles of Sharia tourism and guidelines related to tourists and destinations, facilities such as hotels and travel agencies still need to meet the required Sharia-compliant standards. Overall, the development of halal tourism in the Sis Aljufri Religious Area has shown significant progress, particularly in enhancing products and services, securing government support, and improving infrastructure. However, further efforts are needed to ensure full compliance with the Indonesian Ulema Council's guidelines, especially in the areas of Sharia hotels and travel agencies, to realize its full potential.
