Aims of Food Processing
• Have safe and sure food products • To improve safety and freshness of products • Improve and control the functionality of food constituents • Isolate specific compounds and exploit the biological potential of constituents Food Processing • Increase the storage life of food products • Development of traditional and innovative food products • To improve or maintain nutritional values • Keep quality and typicity of food products

Methods used for Food Conservation
Processing and conservation improved by an adapted packaging
(sterile, impenetrable to water, etc.)
•
Methods using coldness
• Refrigeration • Freezing •
Methods using heating
• Pasteurisation • Sterilisation • UHT processing •
Methods by dessiccation
• Concentration (liquid food like milk) • Drying • Other methods • Filtration • High pressure • Ultra-sounds • Pulsed electrical fields

Halal Ingredients-1
Only
ALLAH, the Supreme Law Giver
what is Halal and what is Haram can ordain •
Halal food
lawful means food fit for human consumption and permitted by laws of Islam or permissible and • The food or its ingredients do not contain any parts or products of animals that are non-Halal or products of animals which are not slaughtered according to Laws of Islam
National Institute of Food Science & Technology
Halal Ingredients-2
• Halal ingredients must not be Najis • Halal ingredients must safe and not harmful • Halal ingredients are neither prepared, processed or manufactured using Najis equipments nor remained in contact with Najis items
National Institute of Food Science & Technology
Sources of Halal Ingredients
• Vegetable ingredients All Halal except intoxicating • Animal derived ingredients Animals must be of the Halal species Halal animals slaughtered by sane Muslim Ensure complete removal of blood from carcass Humane handling to be practiced • Synthetic ingredients: All Halal

Questionable/Mashbooh Ingredients
Mashbooh is an Arabic term means suspected or doubtful ingredient about which we are not sure of the source • Gelatin: Pork, Beef, Fish • Glycerin/glycerol: Saponification of animal fats • Emulsifiers: Animals • Enzymes: Animal, Microbial, Biotechnological • Dairy Ingredients: whey, cheese • Alcoholic Drinks • Animal Protein/Fat • Flavorings and Compound Mixtures

Other Examples
•
Taurine: Often used in energy drinks, mostly derived from pig gall
•
Pepsin, clarifiers and stabilizers: look clear to make drinks
•
Cloudifiers: to make juice look cloudy
•
Active carbon and flavors: for fruity aromas

GMO’s Biotechnology
• Chemicals acceptable • Enzymes acceptable • Transgenic Foods • Plant to plant gene transfer is ok • Animal to plant gene transfer?
• Animal to animal gene transfer?
• New Species?

E-Codes
National Institute of Food Science & Technology
E-Codes
• E-codes are codes sometimes found on food labels in the European Union (Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal etc.) • The codes indicates an ingredient which is some type of food additives • The “E” indicates that is a “European Union Approved” food additive • Other countries have different food labeling laws

Requirements for Halal Food Processing
National Institute of Food Science & Technology
Requirements for Halal Food Processing
•
Ingredients must be from Halal source
•
Processing must be checked according to Islamic rules and regulations
•
Final compositions must be checked if there is involvement of any alcoholic product during processing
•
In final composition alcoholic ingredients must not exceed than the permissible limits
•
Packaging material should not contain any haram ingredient
•
Cross-contamination must be avoided
•
Equipments must be washed with permissible detergents
National Institute of Food Science & Technology
Sanitation & Cross-Contamination
• In Food Processing, all equipment must be clean
per visual/laboratory inspection
– Clean up after non Halal Ingredients production
(if both are being processed with the same equipment)
• All Halal products must be segregated during
storage to avoid cross-contamination
