Abstract

Muslim population in Indonesia is approximately 229.62 million, accounting for 87.2% of the country’s total population. With this large Muslim demographic, there is a growing need for Halal-certified food sources that are safe for consumption. However, many MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) in the country face significant challenges in obtaining Halal certification due to various factors. These include geographical barriers, expensive certification processes, limited understanding of online services, and public perceptions that Halal certification is unnecessary for MSMEs. To address the challenges, changes have been made to Indonesian Halal Certification System, particularly the introduction of regular and self declare programs. Therefore, this study aims to develop Halal Path application to support the self declare program for eligible MSMEs and enhance the economy, reputation, and cultural globalization of Indonesia. This initiative seeks to create safe and comfortable conditions for Muslims and improve food safety and quality. The study procedures were carried out using an academic literature review focusing on legal frameworks and Halal certification processes, which integrate Internet of Things (IoT) to streamline Halal supply chain management in industrial and agricultural contexts. The proposed Halal Path comprised 6 stages, namely educational videos on Halal system in Indonesia, video tutorials for obtaining business identification numbers (NIB), instructions for applying for Halal certification under both regular and self declare programs, Halal Assurance System (HAS) training, internal audits, and monitoring. In addition, the application “Halal Path” included a supplier information feature using IoT to help MSMEs obtain safe and Halal raw materials effectively.

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).
