Environmental Approach for Securing Halalan Toyyiban Concept in Food Safety- A Mini Review
Get PDFThe relationship between Halalan Toyyiban concept and food safety is well known and discussed among the scholars since the early years. Muslims are guided by the concept that is highlighted in the Quran to consume food. However, the widely occurred environmental pollution and contamination around the globe had threatened the status of the natural food resources. One of the major threats to global food safety is chemical contamination from environment. By harnessing the ability of the microorganism in the environment to restore the nature is one of the approaches used to ensure the concept of toyyiban is safely fulfilled. Using the Qur’an as primary sources and other published articles, this article connects the links between the wider halalan toyyiban concept and the environmental sciences related approaches and subsequently provides alternative perspective to the halalan toyyiban concept especially for the food safety issues
Physicochemical Properties for Toyyib Environmental Assessment on Lake Water Quality: A Mini Review
Get PDFAs Malaysia strives to become industrialised, numerous water bodies are increasingly dumping grounds for chemicals, sewage, and pollutants. It is considered that pollutant substances are continuously channelled into water bodies and then transferred into organic and inorganic particles, nutrients, pesticides, and herbicides that directly affect the aquatic ecosystem. This paper aims to study the overview of physicochemicals properties for lake water quality in relation to Toyyib environmental assessment. Malaysian water quality assessments are based on several rules, including the National Lake Water Quality Criteria and Standard, Urban Storm Water Management Manual for Malaysia, and National Water Quality Index Standard. As a result of the transmission of physicochemical qualities, water contaminants inflict harm not only on aquatic ecosystems but also on the safe water for human use. These studies indicate the water quality measurements or parameters for assessing the water quality for the Toyyib environment and establish the list of physicochemical properties for water quality assessment on the lake. On the other hand, the methodology applied for each parameter was also studied and presented

Shari'ah compliance safety for Malaysia Homestay Muslim Travelers
No full textMuslim travellers are gradually showing interest in travelling to Muslim-friendly countries, specifically Malaysia. Malaysia is one of the few Islamic-viewing countries offering unique accommodation via the local homestay experience. However, the regulations set by the local authority are loosely enforced, especially regarding homestay guests' safety. Interpretations of safety are largely contributed only by each registered local homestay, with only minor guidelines provided by the local authority. It is also unclear whether the safety measures of homestays in Malaysia comply with Shari’ah principles. For example, under the official guidelines, insurance is to be adopted by homestays for the safety of the guest. However, Muslim travellers do not have a choice between Shari’ah and non-Shari’ah policies. When it comes to insurance policies, it is up to the homestay owner to provide Shari’ah-compliant or non-compliant coverage. Therefore, the article aims to explore whether the safety measures of homestays in Malaysia comply with Shari’ah principles and suggests ways to address these issues. Findings indicate that homestays' current level of safety and security in Malaysia is not standard since MOTAC’s guidelines are too general and not curated for each homestay. Suggestions in the form of a flow chart were put forward to address concerns about safety and security and to ensure compliance with Shari’ah principles
Halal Concerns on Lard in Food Products and its Detection Methods
Get PDFLard refers to a creamy, white, soft substance made from pig fat and used in cooking and baking. Lard not only has the risk of biological complications and health problems associated with regular consumption, but also has other issues such as the restriction on use in the food industry from the perspective of the Muslim religion. There are few literature studies that show several issues related to the adulteration of food products, especially halal meat. This issue must be resolved to avoid confusion for Muslims. Therefore, laboratory analysis on meat species authentication is highly necessary. There are different available methods to detect different species in food samples, including Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), Electronic Nose (e-nose), Duplex PCR-Enzyme-linked Oligonucleotide Assay (ELONA), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), and Rapid PCR. This article aims to review the application of lard in food, cases related to halal and methods to detect the presence of lard

This paper aims to uncover the Shari'ah principles as a basic reference in implementing the logistics activity process and protecting Halal products from elements that can tarnish their Halal status. A review of conference papers, scientific journals, and related scientific books was done to achieve the goal. It is concluded that the principles of Shari'ah are important in Halal logistics so that the product is always guaranteed to be Halal. Customers will have a greater sense of confidence in their Halal products
Challenges Faced by Halal Meat Industry: A Review
Get PDFThe demand trend for Halal meat and meat-based products among Muslims worldwide has increased in recent years. Meanwhile, the awareness among non-Muslims of Halal meat and meat products is due to their high quality and safety, thus resulting in more access to Halal meat and meat-based products for them. Due to the technological advancements in the meat processing sector, adulteration and fraud have grown more widespread due to the financial gain that can be realized. The issues associated with Halal meat have created an opportunity for researchers, scientists, consumers, manufacturers, and regulators to work together to determine whether meats produced in the industry are Halal, safe to be consumed and free from food-borne pathogens. Halal authentication technology can assist in addressing this issue, whilst as a result, can assist juries in assessing the status of the products with a high degree of precision. The objectives of this review paper are to discuss and review the challenges of the Halal meat industry, including the analytical procedures used to ensure that Halal meat products have long-term viability in Malaysia. The methods used to review the selected topics are searching the extant literature available in the online and offline sources, screening for topic inclusion, assessing, extracting and discussing the available data obtained in the updated journals. In conclusion, numerous challenges are faced by the Halal meat industry, and they should be addressed by focusing on realistic prospects to enhance the production of local meat, which is critical in guaranteeing the supply of Halalan Toyyiban meat is bounteous and secured
Egg and Broiler Supply in Malaysia: Issues, Challenges and Recommendations
Get PDFThe Malaysian poultry industry, particularly the broiler and egg supply, was greatly affected due to recent global challenges such as COVID-19, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, global logistic strains, and the overall deceleration of economies. Being self-sustainable for poultry, the crisis throughout 2022 has shown how fragile the industry is in Malaysia. Based on the above perspectives, the dependency of the poultry industry on imported feed materials and its stability from external factors that support the industry needs to be considered to sustain food security. Therefore the concept of food security in a country might need to be further evaluated as a sustainable value chain rather than individual components. Understanding the value chain involved in the poultry industry is important to conclude the decisions to attain supply stability in Malaysia
