HALAL & SCIENCE The phrase 'Halal and science' is not an oxymoron, yet quite a number of people sometimes are culpable of negating this fact. Society should advocate that science is a prerequisite in various aspects of Halal. Science's major role in Halal is to provide evidence and facts that sustain the integrity of the Halal products or services. As the Halal industry is ever growing on the global scale, its ultimate success is dependent on the ability of industry players to fully integrate science in the ecosystem, chiefly the aspects of production, services, infrastructure, and logistics. Advancement of technology heralds the adulteration of ingredients in foods, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and personal care manufacturing. As such, in the global Halal ecosystem, science helps to strengthen the identification of critical ingredients and processes so that these elements remain Halal. In addition, science provides methods to identify adulteration and develop Halal alternative ingredients. Infusion of Halal and science focuses on the universal benefits, natural disposition of man, health, cleanliness and quality. Session panels will utilize vast experience and knowledge to delve into this topic, with the objective of creating awareness to the public on the indispensible nature of science's role in the Halal industry.
