Study Notes

Colors

Colors have been used to make food appealing and also as adulterants to hide defects
Synthetic colors include FD&C-certified colors, which can be water-soluble (dyes) or oil-soluble (lakes)
Natural or organic colors include fruit and vegetable extracts, riboflavin, corn, shellac, octopus ink, and caramel
Inorganic colors used in the food industry include titanium dioxide, carbon blue, iron oxide, and silicone dioxide

Curing Agents

Curing agents are specialized blends of salt, nitrites, and other ingredients like sodium ascorbate, sodium erythorbate, citric acid, and propylene glycol
Curing agents are used to promote color and microbial inhibition in sausage products
They are generally halal suitable, but must be made on clean equipment and without questionable ingredients

Coatings

Animal-based ingredients must be avoided in coatings for fruits and vegetables
Coatings may contain ingredients like wax, beef tallow, petroleum wax, gelatin, sugars, zein protein, and others
Vegetable and mineral ingredients like sugars, zein, starches, bees wax, petroleum fractions, and vegetable oils are halal-suitable for food coatings

E-Numbered Ingredients

E-Numbers represent specific food additives used in the manufacture of various food products
E-Numbers have been formulated by the European Economic Community (EEC) and are universally adopted by the food industry worldwide
The Halal Technical Committee JAKIM has established a list of halal additives, which has been improvised to match current EU-approved additives

Flavourings

Two groups of ingredients are of special concern to formulators of halal products: unique flavoring agents like civet oil and ingredients of alcoholic origin
Ingredients of animal origin should be avoided in flavorings unless halal certified
Alcohol can be used for extracting flavors or dissolving them, but the amount of alcohol should be reduced to less than 0.5% in the final flavoring product

Single Ingredients in Halal Food Productions

Fusel oil and derivatives are doubtful to use because halal agencies in certain countries do not approve of their use
Encapsulation materials like gelatin, cellulose, shellac, and zein are used to encapsulate food ingredients and products
Gelatin is acceptable only if it is from halal-slaughtered animals or fish
Vinegar is more than 90% water and can be made onsite from alcohol
Bacon bits can be natural (made from real bacon from pork) or artificial (made with plant proteins, specifically soy protein, and colored and flavored with other ingredients)
Amino acids are used for various technical functions and are acceptable as long as they are halal approved

Halal Ingredients

Amino Acids

L-cysteine is used in food products like pizza crust, doughnuts, and batters
Natural L-cysteine is derived from human hair, animal hair, duck feathers, and similar sources
L-cysteine from human or animal hair is not acceptable as halal
L-cysteine made from duck feathers (if ducks are slaughtered in an Islamic manner) or synthetic L-cysteine (vegetable grade) is acceptable as halal

Civet Oil

Civet oil is oil extracted from the glands of a cat-like animal called a civet
Civet oil is used as a flavoring in foods and beverages
Civet oil is not accepted as halal

Liquor and Wine

Liquors are not acceptable as halal due to their alcoholic content
Wine extracts can be used as flavoring agents if residual alcohol is less than 0.5%
Consultation with halal-certifying agencies and end users is necessary to determine acceptability

Fusel Oil and Derivatives

Fusel oil is a by-product of alcoholic fermentation
It is used as an ingredient in food products, but is doubtful for halal use
Some halal agencies, like JAKIM, do not approve of its use

Encapsulation Materials

Ingredients like gelatin, cellulose, shellac, and zein are used to encapsulate food ingredients
Shellac, cellulose, and zein are generally accepted in halal products
Gelatin is acceptable only if it is from halal-slaughtered animals or fish

Vinegar, Spices, and Seasonings

Vinegar

Vinegar is more than 90% water
Vinegar can be made onsite from alcohol, but this is not acceptable for halal production
L-cysteine must be from vegetarian or duck feather sources to be halal suitable

Spices and Seasoning Blends

Spices and seasonings can be single botanical ingredients or a dry blend of many ingredients
All components should be halal suitable
Equipment must be thoroughly cleaned to avoid cross-contamination

Condiments, Dressings, and Sauces

These products may contain oil, salt, sugar, and other ingredients
Non-halal ingredients like bacon bits, gelatin, wine, or complex flavorings must not be included in formulations
Equipment must be clean, and production should preferably take place earlier in the week after thorough cleaning

Batters, Breadings, and Breadcrumbs

Batters, breadings, and breadcrumbs may contain L-cysteine, which must be from vegetarian or duck feather sources
Other minor ingredients must meet halal suitability requirements
Coatings and sprays used to prevent sticking must also meet halal requirements

Flavourings, Colorants, Curing Agents, and Coatings

Flavourings

Flavourings can be unique agents like civet oil or ingredients of alcoholic origin
Ingredients of animal origin should be avoided unless halal certified
Alcoholic extracts can be used if residual alcohol is less than 0.5%

Colorants

Colors have been used in foods since antiquity
Colors can be synthetic, natural, or organic
Halal-suitable standardization ingredients must be used

Curing Agents

Curing agents are specialized blends of salt, nitrites, and other ingredients
They are generally halal suitable, but equipment must be clean and questionable ingredients must not be incorporated

Coatings

Animal-based ingredients must be avoided in coatings
Particularly upsetting to Muslim consumers is the use of haram ingredients for coating fruits and vegetables
The Nutritional Labeling and Education Act of 1990 requires packers to identify the source of components in coatings and label them on the outside carton

Halal Food Productions

Halal food productions involve the use of acceptable ingredients and production processes.

Single Ingredients in Halal Food Productions

Bacon bits:
- Natural bacon bits are not acceptable for halal products due to their pork origin.
- Artificial bacon bits can be used if colors, flavors, and other incidental ingredients, as well as production equipment, are halal approved.

- Many amino acids are used for various technical functions.
- Extracts with residual alcohol less than 0.5% can be used in halal products.
Fusel oil and derivatives:
- Fusel alcohols are mixtures of higher alcohols produced as a by-product of alcoholic fermentation.
- Use of fusel oil and derivatives is doubtful in halal products, and some countries like JAKIM do not approve of their use.
Encapsulation materials:
- Ingredients like gelatin, cellulose, shellac, and zein are used to encapsulate food ingredients.
- Shellac, cellulose, and zein are generally accepted in halal products, while gelatin is acceptable only if it is from halal-slaughtered animals or fish.

Vinegar, Spices, and Seasonings in Halal Food Productions

Vinegar:
- Vinegar is more than 90% water and can be made onsite from alcohol with minimal residual alcohol level (less than 0.5%).
Spices and seasoning blends:
- Spices and seasonings are single botanical ingredients or a dry blend of many different ingredients.
- All components should be halal suitable, and equipment should be thoroughly cleaned to avoid cross-contamination.

Condiments, Dressings, and Sauces in Halal Food Productions

Condiments, dressings, and sauces:
- These products contain vegetable or dairy ingredients, but may also contain non-halal ingredients like bacon bits, gelatin, wine, or complex flavorings.

Batters, Breadings, and Breadcrumbs in Halal Food Productions

Batters, breadings, and breadcrumbs:
- These products are manufactured for performance and may contain specialized flours, starches, and other ingredients.
- L-Cysteine used in batters and breadings must be either vegetarian-type made through synthesis or from duck feathers from birds slaughtered according to halal requirements.

Flavorings, Colorants, Curing Agents, and Coatings in Halal Food Productions

Flavorings:
- Two groups of ingredients are of special concern: unique flavoring agents like civet oil and ingredients of alcoholic origin.
- Ingredients of animal origin should be avoided unless halal certified, and alcohol should be reduced to less than 0.5% in the final flavoring product.
Colorants:
- Colors can be synthetic, natural, or organic, and some may contain ingredients like gelatin, emulsifiers, or anti-dusting agents.
- Formulators should use only halal-suitable standardization ingredients.
Curing agents:
