Abstract

The search for sustainable feed alternatives has led to exploring unconventional sources, including food waste, amidst the growing demand for halal gelatin, which has created a significant need for fish skin by-products. Therefore, this study aimed to authenticate the halal status of catfish skin gelatin by verifying feed origin and determining the contents of pig contaminants. Halal standard was verified using a specific DNA analysis of pig components, conducted at each stage, including feed containing pig, fish skin, and catfish gelatin. Gelatin in catfish skin was predominantly composed of amino acids glycine and proline, and fish enlargement stage which led to a skin yield of 5.36 ± 0.75%. Furthermore, the yields of gelatin were 8.67%, 9.94%, and 9.19%, with gel strengths of 133.4 ± 1.2, 129.9 ± 1.4, and 121.9 ± 2.8 bloom, respectively, for the different quarantine periods. The characterization of gelatin using FTIR showed the presence of functional groups, such as amide A, I, II, and III. Real-time PCR detected the presence of pig DNA in feed but not in catfish skin or gelatin. In conclusion, a quarantine period of 0 days for catfish fed pig-containing feed was sufficient to cleanse catfish skin of pig contaminants, with no indication of pig DNA being found.

Abstract

Bali Island is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world and with the growing preference for the location, especially among Muslim tourists, the demand for halal food has increased. However, due to the predominantly Hindu population in Bali, the availability of halal-certified food remains limited. This study aims to identify the characteristics and examine the level of halal knowledge among food Micro and Small Enterprise (MSE) actors in Bali. It also aims to analyze the factors influencing the halal knowledge of the actors. In order to achieve the stated objectives, the study adopted descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression as its analytical methods. The obtained results showed that the entire level of halal knowledge among food MSE actors in Bali was satisfactory. Additionally, the results also signified that factors such as education level, access to information, and religious awareness were found to significantly and positively influence the level of halal knowledge possessed by the actors.

Abstract

Halal certificates protect consumers from foods that do not comply with Islamic Sharia, and Indonesia represents a significant market for halal products, with certification being a key competitive factor in international trade. The response to halal certification varies, with some considering the fee affordable, while others view it as burdensome for businesses. Therefore, this study aimed to recommend affordable halal certification fee for small, medium, and large entrepreneurs. To achieve this objective, a survey method was used to target business actors, combined with literature reviews. A survey was conducted through questionnaires and interviews that included micro, small, medium, and large businesses. The affordable certification fee for micro and small business actors averaged IDR 774,231, with the highest being IDR 828,571. Meanwhile, for medium businesses, it ranged from IDR 1,166,667 to a high of IDR 2,030,769, and for large businesses, the average was IDR 2,995,581, with a maximum of IDR 5,214,286.

Abstract

Indonesia is characterized by the largest Muslim population globally, showing the need for supplements and medicines consumed to be halal (permissible under Islamic law). In this context, cysteine is an essential amino acid crucial for biological functions in humans. It is used as a mucolytic agent to help thin mucus in respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cysteine also serves as a supplement or an antidote to acetaminophen for detoxification or to counteract paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose, a commonly used drugs to relieve pain and reduce fever. Therefore, this research aims to comprehensively review sources of cysteine, production, and use in pharmaceuticals. This research also explores the opinions of scholars regarding halal aspects that need to be considered when developing pharmaceutical product containing cysteine. The methods used included searching through references of research obtained from Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, NCBI, Elsevier, the Qur'an, Hadiths, and other Islamic literature sources. The compound structures were visualized using the ChemSketch tool from ACD/Labs. The results showed that mucolytic and acetaminophen drugs, such as acetylcysteine, could be derived from both animal and plant sources through chemical and nonchemical separation processes. As a precursor of acetylcysteine synthesis, the permissibility of cysteine sourced from specific organs, such as pig hair, had different opinions among scholars. However, the prevailing opinions and fatwa tended to depend on prohibition, based on sources, process, and urgency of use.

Abstract

The cost of obtaining halal certification is often significant, and this has made its obtainance difficult for many Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs). In order to promote the attainment of halal certification, the government has been observed to offer free certification programs for MSEs, with expenses being totally covered by the State Budget (APBN). Based on the results, alternative sources of financing beyond the state budget are necessary, with productive zakat being a plausible option. Therefore, the present study aims to assess the willingness of Muzakki to use productive zakat to finance free halal certification for MSEs and to analyze the factors influencing this willingness. To achieve the stated objectives, scoring and Structural Equation Models, namely Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS), were adopted as the analytical methods. Data were collected via electronic questionnaires administered to 200 respondents who had previously contributed mal zakat, and interviews conducted with representatives from BAZNAS. The obtained results showed that a positive inclination existed among Muzakki to use productive zakat for financing halal certification for MSEs. The observed key factors influencing enthusiasm of Muzakki include external motivation and consistency in zakat contributions. To enhance the role of zakat, the study suggests that zakat institutions should prioritize information dissemination and awareness campaigns through various media channels.

Abstract

Feeding globally is considered a critical challenge for sustainable development, hence, protein, energy, and adequate micronutrients must be sustainably available to alleviate many community problems. In some parts of Indonesia, such as Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, approximately 60% of people consume protein less than the adequacy level. Therefore, this study aimed to identify halal status of edible insects as a forgotten-fringe food to obtain a potential alternative source of protein-rich food in the future. The goal was to cover households with lower-middle income in fulfilling protein requirements, specifically in food-insecure areas. The results showed that six edible insects were identified as a forgotten indigenous protein source. These insects were forgotten majorly due to taste (yuck), allergies, inferior quality, complicated processing methods, and confusion over halal status. However, the identified forgotten foods had the potential to cover the insecurity condition in Gunungkidul. This might help poor households increase protein intake since often those forgotten foods are cheap and hunted freely.

Abstract

Muslim population in Indonesia was predicted to reach 214 million by 2019, making it a lucrative market from a business perspective. Muslims have the right to obtain and consume halal food products. Food and beverages must be manufactured from raw halal materials and processed in a manner that retains halal status. For instance, shoyu, a Japanese soy sauce widely consumed by Indonesians, traditionally contains a mixture of wheat and soybean fermented in two stages. Non-halal soy sauce may contain brewery or khamr alcohol and pork-derived substances as flavoring ingredients. Therefore, halal assurance system (HAS) 23000 was developed by LPPOM MUI (Food, Drug and Cosmetic Research Institute of Indonesian Ulema Council) and aimed at ensuring a product is free from contamination by haram or najis. HAS development for halal shoyu product line at Kamada Soy Sauce Inc. included conducting a preliminary audit using the gap analysis method. The development was considered complete once all 11 principles of HAS 23000 had been fulfilled. A post-audit was then performed using the same gap analysis method to compare the conditions before and after development. Subsequently, a risk analysis using failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) was performed based on audit results and brainstorming sessions with the company. Construction of a fishbone diagram was carried out using the calculated risk probability number during FMEA risk analysis.

Abstract

The method for porcine DNA analysis using real-time PCR is widely applied in the halal certification process and post-market monitoring. Therefore, this research aimed to validate porcine DNA analysis method using selected primer and exogenous internal positive control (IPC) as an alternative. The experiment was conducted in various stages, namely primer selection, sample extraction, efficiency testing, and method validation. The results of efficiency tests showed that using IPC at half concentration (Exo IPC Mix 5X and Exo IPC DNA 25X) provided reliable amplification with a Ct value of 27.57 ± 0.28 and RFU of 205.5 ± 14.85. The maximum DNA concentration that could be amplified without inhibition was 100 ng/µl. Validation tests showed specificity, sensitivity, linearity, PCR efficiency, and robustness. Among 23 positive and 23 negative samples, two positive samples (porcine collagen and collagen peptide) produced false negatives, while three negative samples had false positives after Ct 42.26. The method achieved a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.01 ng/l at Ct 33.29 ± 0.92, with linearity (r² = 0.996) and PCR efficiency (ϵ = 96.32). The results showed robustness to variations in master mix type, primer concentration, and annealing temperature, as well as resistance to inhibitors such as alginate, cellulose, EDTA, calcium ions, collagen peptide, and polysaccharides at 1 g/l. The performance of this method was also compared to the SNI ISO/TS 20224-3:2020 standard, showing potential as a viable alternative for porcine DNA testing. Moreover, further comparative research were recommended to fully establish the efficacy against national standards.
