Abstract
The wide utilization of intricate and innovative nanotechnology products with a size less than 100 nm is still uncertain due to its potential long-term health risk and environmental hazards. One of the main factors that contributes to its slow commercialization progress is nanotoxicity, that is associated to the nanomaterials synthesis and methodology used in their production. This paper provides an overview on nanotechnology, nanotoxicity, and nanofabrication techniques using green chemistry. Information regarding halal food guidelines and regulations are included. The question of whether the production of safer bio-based nanomaterials is able to meet halal compliance is addressed. This paper also highlights some of the challenges and limitation faced by the industry in adopting the green and eco-friendly nanotechnology that will support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Although many studies had proven that green synthesis methodology produces safer nanomaterials but insufficient data on toxicological studies and life cycle assessments have delayed the establishment of legislation on nanomaterials application, as a consequence, hinders the development of halal regulations and guidelines for nano-based or nano-ingredients in the halal food industry.
期刊介绍:
Global Journal Al-Thaqafah (GJAT) is a biannual journal, published by Universiti Sultan Azlan Shah (USAS), Perak, MALAYSIA. This journal is purely academic and peer reviewed. It caters to articles, research notes and reports, and book reviews on diverse topics relating to Islam and the Muslims. This journal is intended to provide an avenue for researchers and academics from all persuasions and traditions to share and discuss differing views, new ideas, theories, research outcomes, and socio-cultural and socio-political issues that impact on and directly or indirectly affect the Muslim World with the sole purpose of making this world a better place to live in. GJAT started in 2011 and was later granted the SCOPUS status in March 2014. Since then, GJAT has published numerous articles and materials from international contributors. GJAT welcomes contributions from all: academics, experts, and professionals. All articles submitted must be original, academic, of high scholarly standard, and meet the strict SCOPUS requirements. GJAT prioritizes articles that discuss fundamental issues and are of global relevance and importance, and publishes all articles that fulfill the basic criteria without prejudice (kindly refer to "Submission and Guidelines"). All decisions by GJAT to publish any article are final.
