Abstract

Fatwas, as religious rulings issued by the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI), play a crucial role in guiding the Muslim community. This research aims to analyze the similarity between these fatwas, contributing to the field by comparing various similarity methods. The dataset includes 380 fatwa titles collected from the official website of the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulama Council. The research follows a structured methodology: starting with data collection, followed by text pre-processing involving punctuation removal, stemming, and stop word elimination. Word extraction techniques such as Bag of Words (BoW), TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency), and BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) are then applied. Similarity is calculated using Jaccard Similarity, Cosine Similarity, Euclidean Distance, and Dice Coefficient. The results show that Cosine Similarity combined with TF-IDF achieves the highest performance with an F1 Score of 0.299. This study is novel in its comprehensive comparison of multiple similarity methods applied to MUI fatwas, providing valuable insights for researchers and practitioners in Natural Language Processing (NLP).

Abstract

Indonesia is recognized for its rich biodiversity, particularly in herbal plants, with the Zingiberaceae and Euphorbiaceae families being prominent in traditional medicine. This study focuses on the identification and documentation of herbal plants from these families in Sumberbrantas Village, Bumiaji District, Batu, East Java, where the favorable climate and fertile soil support their growth. Despite the potential, there is limited documentation of these plants, which is crucial for optimizing their benefits and ensuring adherence to halal cultivation practices. The halal concept encompasses not only the end products but also environmentally friendly cultivation processes compliant with Islamic law, including seed selection, organic fertilization, and post-harvest processing. This research identifies key species such as ginger (Zingiber officinale), turmeric (Curcuma longa), and cassava (Manihot esculenta), highlighting their health benefits and economic potential. The study employs morphological observations and comparisons with botanical literature to ensure accurate identification. The findings reveal that all identified plants are cultivated according to halal principles, enhancing their marketability and sustainability. The results underscore the importance of halal-based mini herbal gardens as a model for integrated herbal plant management, promoting health, economic growth, and environmental sustainability within the local community. This research contributes to the understanding of herbal biodiversity in Indonesia and supports the development of sustainable agricultural practices aligned with halal standards.

Abstract

The halal market is expanding rapidly, driven by the growing Muslim population. At the same time, young Muslims are experiencing changes in their consumption habits as they engage more with global trends. This study explores how acculturation to global consumer culture (AGCC) interacts with ethnic identity (EID) in shaping their choices between halal and non-halal products. A survey of 123 young Muslim respondents in Indonesia was conducted, and the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that exposure to global consumer culture does not weaken ethnic identity. Instead, young Muslims develop a bicultural identity, maintaining their commitment to halal consumption while embracing global influences. These findings highlight the need for businesses to adopt localization or glocalization strategies to better connect with Muslim consumers. Policymakers should also ensure that the halal market continues to evolve while staying true to Islamic values and meeting modern consumer needs.

Abstract

Indonesia, as the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, holds immense potential to lead the global halal sector. Efforts to accelerate halal certification, particularly in the food, beverage, and cosmetics industries, have yielded positive outcomes. By mid-2023, 38,480 products had obtained halal certification, driven by initiatives like the Free Halal Certification (Sehati) program and national campaigns. Halal certification not only serves as a legal requirement but also enhances product competitiveness in domestic and international markets. However, despite the projected global halal market size of USD 2.3 trillion by 2024, Indonesia's contribution remains relatively small compared to countries like Malaysia and the United Arab Emirates. This study investigates the correlation between halal certification issuance and export value, revealing a weak negative correlation, with the export value of halal products declining in 2023 due to global economic challenges. The findings underscore the importance of addressing external factors and adopting a comprehensive approach, involving both government and businesses, to enhance Indonesia's halal export performance and ensure long-term growth.

Abstract

Food-grade lubricants are important in the food industry because they maintain the efficiency and safety of the production process. Halal and haram aspects in Islam are essential in food-grade lubricants because of potential contamination of lubricants in food products. The halal or haram status of a lubricant is determined by the raw materials, manufacturing process, and potential contamination of food-grade lubricants. Some food-grade lubricants use animal-derived raw materials such as stearic acid. The primary source of raw lubricant material is the animals used. The use of prohibited animals will change the status of lubricants to haram. In addition to raw materials, lubricant production can use non halal materials such as alcohols and catalysts. If the catalyst and alcohol used are not in accordance with SNI 99004-2021, then food-grade lubricants cannot be halalised. Lubricants can also be contaminated by L. monocytogenes. The infections caused by these bacteria are health hazards, especially for humans with weakened immunity. This potential surely causes harm to humans and can affect the halal status of lubricants. Due to the critical need for halal lubricants, the oil and gas company PT Pertamina has initiated the existence of five halal-certified lubricants in Indonesia: FG-GO 150, FG-GO 220, FG-GO 320, FG-GO 460, and FG-HO 46.

Abstract

Identification of the halal status of food is a crucial aspect of the food industry, particularly in countries with a majority Muslim population. DNA extraction methods play a critical role in ensuring the halal status of food products by accurately detecting nonhalal substances. This study conducted a comparative evaluation of various DNA extraction methods used in halal food testing. We reviewed several DNA extraction methods listed in RSNI3 ISO 21571:2005 titled "Analytical Methods for the Detection of Genetically Engineered Products and Their Derivatives—Nucleic Acid Extraction". In RSNI3 ISO 21571:2005, five DNA extraction methods are discussed: the phenol-chloroform method, the silica method, the CTAB method, the polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) method, and the guanidine chloroform method. This study analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of the literature review. Additionally, we conducted an economic and process effectiveness review to identify the best method. Based on this analysis, we recommend the most suitable method for testing the halal status of various types of food sample. The results of this study are expected to serve as a guideline for testing laboratories and the food industry in selecting the optimal DNA extraction method for ensuring efficient and accurate halal status of products.

Abstract

Consumers have the right to correct information about the products they consume. One example of a food product that is vulnerable to counterfeiting is chicken nuggets. To overcome this problem, qPCR can be an effective solution. Previous research has designed primers targeting the chicken ND5 gene. However, the PCR conditions for this primer pair have never been optimized. This research aims to optimize qPCR conditions and carry out chicken nugget authentication trials. Genomic DNA was isolated from five weight variations of chicken meat samples as a qPCR standard curve and three chicken nugget samples. Optimizing the annealing temperature with gradient PCR gave the best results at a temperature of 57.6OC. The results of the authentication test showed that the chicken meat content in TD nuggets was 54.7%, C nuggets 43.8%, and D nuggets 37.3%. This value is still in accordance with the Indonesian National Standard (SNI).

Abstract

The existence of the Halal Product Guarantee Agency (BPJPH) is an important milestone in the halal certification system in Indonesia in accordance with the mandate of Law No. 33 of 2014 concerning Halal Product Guarantee. BPJPH has full authority in formulating policies, establishing norms, standards, procedures, and issuing and revoking halal certificates, including supervising halal auditors. However, the implementation of halal certification policies still faces significant challenges, especially in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector, with certification rates only reaching around 30% of the 64 million MSMEs due to relatively high certification costs, limited access to information, and complex administrative procedures. This study aims to evaluate BPJPH policies related to halal certification and their impact on producer compliance, especially MSMEs, and identify inhibiting factors and opportunities for policy improvement. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach, analyzing BPJPH policy documents for the 2015-2024 period and case studies of producers involved in the halal certification process. The results showed that BPJPH policies such as Minister of Religious Affairs Regulation No. 26 of 2020 and BPJPH Regulation No. 3 of 2021 succeeded in increasing producer compliance through reducing costs and simplifying procedures. The dominant factors influencing compliance are halal market awareness, affordable costs, and halal certification.
