Posted by MARDYAH & AIN | 9/22/2010 11:47:00 PM | , | 0 comments »

Salam 'alaik utk semua pembaca. Alhamdulillah, berkesempatan juga utk menulis entry ini. Dah lama juga tidak meng'post' di blog ni. My last post mungkin about a year ago, mengenai gelatine tu. ^_^. Entry2 selepas itu semuanya ditulis oleh my partner, mar.. This time I just want to share about again, the controversial thing in the food industry... Why food? Because we eat everyday, we need food to convert into energy that'll be used when we're performing 'ibadah.. Dan makanan yg kita makan akan menjadi darah daging kita. Jika termakan makanan yg haram, adakah disebabkan kita tidak tahu atau TIDAK MAHU ambil tahu? Ok, done the talking, here is the list of the codes for emulsifiers.


Dibawah ini adalah kiriman e-mail dari seorang makcik=) yg bersumberkan: (Reference: pg 313-327, Appendix M in "HALAL FOOD PRODUCTION" by Mian N.Riaz and Muhammad M. Chaudry, CRC Press, 2004). IIUM Library has copy of this book.

My youngest brother, Qayyim selalu bertanya mengenai apa2 sahaja ingredient yg terdapat 'E' di depannya. Contohnya, bila nak makan gula-gula, dia akan melihat ingredients di plastic gula2 tu, dan biasanya mmg terdapat perkataan E itu. Jadi setiap kali pun,dia akan tanya, "along,ni boleh makan tak?" As usual, dulu mmg saya xberapa pasti. Jadi saya pun akan confuse setiap kali nak bagi jawapan.. Bukan setakat itu sahaja, satu lagi, ayam. Dia mmg tidak akan menjamah mana-mana hidangan ayam, biasanya dia akan bertanya dulu, "ni ayam suntik ke? Ni ayam organic tak?" Macam2 adik sorang ni..^_^ Jadi oleh sebab itu, dirumah ini biasanya mmg jarang ada hidangan ayam.. waAllahua'lam, moga mendapat manfaat dari entry kali ini.
