Abstract

Indonesia, with the world’s largest Muslim population, is the leading consumer of halal food and beverage.Despite its substantial consumer base, the country has not been able to capitalize on this demand to increasethe production of halal products. Therefore, this study aimed to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,and threats (SWOT) facing halal food and beverage small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia anddevelop growth strategies. The study procedures used Analytic Network Process (ANP) method combined withSWOT network structure to evaluate the factors affecting the sector. The results showed that the most significantstrength was the merger of food science with Islamic principles, while the primary weakness identified was theinsufficient financing and investment available to sector participants. Government backing had also become themost significant opportunity, while the most significant threat was the volatility of global economic conditions. Basedon these results, the strategic priority identified for advancing Indonesian halal food and beverage SEMs was overalldevelopment.

Abstract

In 2022, the skincare market in Indonesia was observed to generate revenue of approximately US$ 2.05 billion. In this market, consumers tend to prefer local products that adhere to the standards of halal and are widely recognized. A prominent, current, and popular skincare brand that has been found to adhere to these standards is Wardah. Between 2020 and 2021, Wardah experienced an increase in market share, showing a growing preference for its products among consumers. However, from 2023 to 2024, a significant decline has been observed in the market share of the brand, signaling a reduction in consumer preference. This trend is a critical concern for the company, as it emphasizes the need to address the factors contributing to the decline and to implement strategies that are capable of enhancing the appeal of products produced by Wardah, enabling the brand to remain competitive. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the factors influencing the loyalty of Generation Z consumers toward Wardah skincare products in the Jabodetabek region. The demographic was observed because, conventionally, Generation Z, which constitutes around 27% of the population of Indonesia (75 million people), is often targeted as the primary market to build consumer loyalty for the majority of products. In order to achieve the study objectives, a sample of 135 respondents was selected using a non-probability sampling method, specifically the purposive sampling technique. The data was then analyzed using the Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method. The obtained results showed that brand trust and perceived value had a significant and positive impact on consumer loyalty. These observations suggest that companies should focus on maintaining and strengthening brand trust, fostering a strong brand community, and raising awareness about the importance of halal certification in skincare products. Additionally, efforts should be made to educate consumers about the value of halal-certified skincare products, as this can further enhance brand loyalty.

Abstract

Halalan Toyyiban, a concept rooted in Islamic teachings, is focused on quality, safety, ethical considerations, and permissibility. "halal" is defined as items permissible under Islamic law, while "toyyib" ensures the items are pure, wholesome, and ethically sourced. This concept, derived from the Quran and Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), provides a comprehensive framework for guiding Muslim practices. In global marketplace, integrating scientific methods with halalan toyyiban principles is becoming increasingly important, particularly in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Scientific methods offer effective tools for verifying the halal status of products and enhancing the toyyib attributes. This integration helps ensure that products meet both Islamic and modern standards, thereby strengthening the credibility of halal certifications through evidence-based practices. Techniques, such as chromatography, DNA testing, and mass spectrometry, were commonly adopted to detect non-halal contaminants and verify product integrity. These innovations reassures consumers that the products are religiously permissible and meet high standards of safety and ethical production.

Abstract

Gelatin is a versatile raw material extensively used in the food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. It is produced globally by partially hydrolyzing collagen derived from pigs and cows, leading to religious and ethical concerns among various communities. Therefore, this study aimed to explore alternative methods to distinguish porcine, bovine, and mixed gelatin by analyzing the unique profiles of their total volatile compounds. The volatilomics method integrated solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) with chemometrics. The results showed that principal component analysis (PCA) of the volatile compounds from gelatin powder had clear classification among porcine, bovine, and mixed gelatin, suggesting the discrimination ability of the method. Furthermore, partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) identified distinct marker compounds that significantly contributed to the classification of each gelatin type. The marker compounds for porcine gelatin included 2-decen-1-ol, 2-dodecenal, cyclohexane 1-butenylidene, decane 3,6-dimethyl, cyclohexanone 2-propyl, borinic acid, 3-tetradecyn-1-ol, 2-tridecene, 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-2-one, and 2-n-butyl furan. For bovine gelatin, the marker compounds were 2-heptanone 3-methyl, nonane 5-butyl, tridecane 6-methyl, 1-hexacosanol, nonane 3-methyl-5-propyl, undecane 3-methyl, octane 4-methyl, 2,4-undecadienol, and 1-hexadecanol 2-methyl.

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a consistent annual increase in the prevalence of food waste, which negatively affects the economy of various countries, such as Indonesia. Previous studies showed that food waste in Indonesia reached 41.4% of the total composition of national waste in 2021. This increase is accompanied by technological developments that affect consumption patterns, such as online food delivery (OFD) services. Therefore, this study aims to analyze food waste behavior among Muslim Generation Z through OFD in West Java using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Primary data were obtained from 180 participants and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling- Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between the attitude variable and perceived behavior control with intention, while the subjective norms variable had no effect. A significant positive relationship was also obtained between promotion, OFD, and perceived behavior control with food waste behavior. Meanwhile, intention and OFD had no significant effect.

Abstract

This study aimed to thoroughly explore the manner in which green marketing can be incorporated alongside halal principles to influence consumer behavior, market dynamics, and brand positioning. Generally, green marketing emphasizes sustainability, transparency, innovation, and consumer engagement, while halal principles ensure compliance with Islamic Sharia standards. The convergence of these methods has been observed to typically address the increasing demand for products that are both environmentally and ethically compliant. For instance, brands such as Kiva and Zalal Foods have successfully adopted effective integration strategies to ensure the production of eco-friendly halal-certified products, which, in return, enhanced brand reputation and consumer trust. During the course of this study, challenges associated with the integration of green marketing and halal principles, including stricter material selection and dual certification processes, were also discussed. The results showed that integrating green marketing and halal principles led to the development of a unique value proposition, allowing brands to meet evolving consumer preferences and positioning each producer as a leader in sustainable and ethical markets. This integration was observed to be particularly essential for expanding market share, fostering brand loyalty, and addressing growing awareness of social and environmental responsibilities among global consumers.

Abstract

The adaptation of the Halal Japan Application System is able to serve as a model to promote halal awareness in the Philippines. This is because the country has a Muslim minority and significant potential for the growth of the halal industry. The concept of Halal, derived from Islamic teachings, covers more than dietary restrictions by influencing lifestyle choices and consumer behavior across diverse sectors, including food, cosmetics, and tourism. Therefore, this research aimed to discuss the challenges and opportunities within the halal certification landscape in both Japan and the Philippines. The trend is associated with the persistence of issues such as the lack of a centralized regulatory body and varying standards among certifying agencies in Japan despite the advancements in halal certification since 2010 and the development of the Halal Japan app. Meanwhile, the Philippines faces infrastructural and awareness challenges in its burgeoning halal sector. The implementation of a similar halal app could bridge these gaps, enhancing accessibility and reliability for local and international Muslim communities. This comparison showed the need to improve the certification processes and community engagement strategies to establish the Philippines as a key player in the global halal market in order to foster economic growth and cultural integration.
