Abstract

Advancements in cheese-making technology have successfully integrated traditional methods with contemporary innovations, enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and product quality. Traditional cheese production typically uses animal rennet, which is sourced from the stomachs of young ruminants. This rennet contains the enzymes chymosin and pepsin, which are essential for the milk coagulation process in cheese making. Due to the limited availability of animal rennet and the rising demand for cheese and halal food products, the market has expanded beyond Muslim consumers to include non-Muslim individuals, leading to the exploration of alternative plant-based coagulants. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the potential use of plant-based coagulants in producing halal cheese while identifying the challenges associated with the production process. These challenges include proteolytic activity, which can lead to a bitter taste, and inconsistencies in coagulant quality due to variations in the sources of the plants. The current study focuses on different types of plant proteases, such as aspartate, cysteine, and serine, extracted from different parts, as well as protease production techniques. It also explores coagulant quality parameters, such as milk clotting activity, proteolytic activity, optimal temperature, and pH, as well as their effects on the physicochemical and organoleptic properties of cheese. The results are expected to provide comprehensive scientific insights for the development of effective alternative coagulants to meet the needs of the halal cheese market in the future.

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

Indonesia, with the world's largest Muslim population, holds significant potential in the global Halal economy. The mandatory Halal certification in Indonesia presents both challenges and opportunities for international businesses. Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) facilitate trade by enabling the acceptance of Halal certifications issued by recognized foreign bodies. While MRAs offer Indonesian businesses access to global markets, they also pose challenges such as increased competition from imported Halal products. This study explores the potential impacts of MRAs on the Indonesian Halal agri-food sector, analyzing the challenges and opportunities for local businesses. Key considerations include strengthening Halal standards, supporting SMEs through tailored financing schemes and government incentives, and ensuring the quality and authenticity of imported Halal products. The study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy that balances market access with the protection of domestic producers while leveraging Indonesia's competitive advantages in the global Halal market.

Abstract

Japan’s aging society, driven by declining birth rates, urbanization, and sociocultural factors, has necessitated increased labor migration from countries such as Indonesia, which now accounts for over 149,000 residents (2023) and 430,000 annual tourists (2023). This demographic shift has amplified the demand for halal products among Indonesia’s Muslim majority, yet Japan lacks formal halal regulations, relying instead on third-party certifications such as the Japan Halal Association (est. 2010). To address this gap, the Indonesian Embassy (KBRI) in Tokyo and Keluarga Masyarakat Islam Indonesia or Indonesian Muslims Association (KMII) Japan initiated the establishment of a community-based halal certification institution for Indonesian Muslims in Japan to address this gap. This study aimed to determine the establishment of the Halal International Trust Organization (HITO) in Japan. The methodology of this study was descriptive qualitative. The data collection process was conducted through interviews to obtain data and observations. This study was conducted in Tokyo. The informants were selected using purposive sampling techniques. The informants involved in the study were the management of KMII, HITO, and officials at KBRI Tokyo. HITO operates under KMII Japan Ippan Shadan Hojin (a legally recognized non-profit). HITO’s five functions include setting locally adapted halal standards, auditing products, training auditors, and fostering socioeconomic integration. Its organizational structure features a supervisory board, advisory council, and daily management team supported by 31 trained assistants across nine prefectures. The certification process involves online submissions, facilitator validation, approval of ‘fatwa’ council, and digital certificate issuance, prioritizing affordability for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

Abstract

The development of halal industry in Indonesia is not only part of the global Sharia economic dynamics but also shows that Muslims are becoming more aware of the importance of halal assurance in all areas of life. As demand increases for a comprehensive halal system, including in education, religious boarding schools, and healthcare services, the need to manage these systems professionally has become increasingly important. A strategic method worth exploring is the integration of halal governance with Islamic philanthropic practices, which hold immense potential in supporting the sustainability of Islamic institutions. A compelling case study was Sultan Agung Islamic University (UNISSULA) in Semarang, a waqf-based university with an integrated ecosystem that includes higher education institutions, student pesantren (Islamic boarding houses), and the Sultan Agung Islamic Hospital (RSI SA). Therefore, this study aims to investigate halal governance model based on Islamic philanthropy in UNISSULA environment, treating the university, pesantren, and hospital as an interconnected ecosystem. To achieve this objective, a qualitative with a case study method and a multidisciplinary perspective were used, combining Islamic law and halal system management. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation, involving university lecturers, and healthcare professionals at RSI SA. The results showed that halal governance model at UNISSULA was strongly supported by structured and institutionalized Islamic philanthropic values. Therefore, the synergy between halal systems and Islamic philanthropy could foster institutions that was competitive, accountable, and oriented toward public welfare (maslahah).

Abstract

Halal cosmetic industry is widely recognized as a significant global beauty and personal care market segment. Alongside the rapid growth, understanding consumer purchase intention toward products has become a key focus of academic investigations. Therefore, this systematic literature review aims to identify the key determinants of purchase intention and uncover prevailing trends in the context of halal cosmetic. Using the PRISMA principles, a total of 15 relevant studies were collected from the Scopus database. The results showed that purchase intention towards halal cosmetic products was influenced by various key determinants reflecting the interaction between internal and external factors. The most mentioned variables across various studies include religiosity, halal awareness, attitudes towards products, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, as well as emotional and social values. In addition, external factors such as influencer impact, trust in halal logos, and digital marketing strategies also play a significant role in shaping purchase intention, both among Muslim and non-Muslim consumers. Based on the results, purchase intention towards halal cosmetic products cannot be explained in a single dimension, but rather from a complex dynamic between personal, psychological, social values, and exposure to marketing information. This literature not only identifies the main determinants of purchase intention for halal cosmetic products but also shows the evolving direction of investigation that is increasingly complex, interdisciplinary, and contextual, in line with the changing behaviors and expectations of modern Muslim consumers.
