What
is Halal Bacterial Fermentation ?
Many of our daily products can
be
made by having bacteria fermented in fermentation tanks. Muslim
religion is alarm with the actual source of these
fermentation vats.
Fermentation
process has been widely used to produce cheese,
bread,
fermented
milk, vinegar
and many other products for the century. Muslims
consider the fermentation process to be useful for Halal Food production.
It
is the use of product thus produced that is Halal
or Haram according to the Islamic rituals
and laws.
If
purified food chemicals through biotechnological
techniques have traditional equivalents that are halal,
they are also halal.
Consequently,
products such a monosodium glutamate, citric
acid and lactic acid are produced through biotechnology are halal
provided they
are free from prohibited contaminants.
Gene
Products (Transgenically Produced Enzymes
and Cultures):
Enzymes
are widely used as biological catalysis in the food
industry.
Some
enzyme cultures are used internally in bakery products
like bread and cheese, while other are used in intermediary media to
carry out
reactions to produce certain food products.
There
are two distinct benefits of biotechnology reaped by
the Halal product manufacturer;
Firstly
by the biotechnology products have improved yields
and decreased batch to batch variations in enzyme characteristics
compared with
those from traditional sources. Consequently, the cost of production
for these
food ingredients has
decreased.
Secondly
in some cases where traditional sources of such enzyme culture were
unacceptable to Muslim food transgenically produced enzymes are
permitted for use in the
production of Halal product.
Bovine
rennet produced from calves that have not
been slaughtered according to Islamic
requirements is not accepted by Muslim.
Where as chymosin (the main enzyme found in rennet) produced microbally
through
transcription from the bovine chymisin gene is universally accepted by
Muslims.
Free
from contamination while prepared or processed with
anything considered Najis
(filthy) or Haram.
