Sažetak
Halal quality represents the totality of characteristics of products and services that meet the fundamental
attributes of quality, such as health and hygiene safety, as well as compliance with halal standard
requirements and Islamic dietary regulations. Halal product certification is carried out proactively using a
preventive method to prevent the mixing or occurrence of any amount of ingredients that may have haram
status. The modern food production process necessitates the use of rapid methods and techniques for
analyzing the origin and quality of food, which is particularly emphasized in the production of halal
products.
The aim of this study was to validate rapid enzymatic tests for detecting ethanol in prepared samples and
finished products and to determine their applicability and reliability in analysis.
For the detection of alcohol in products and samples, the XEMATest Alco – an enzymatic test for the
semi-quantitative determination of ethanol in samples, produced by XEMA Co. Ltd., was used.
For the purpose of this research, 90 analyses were conducted on 18 samples, of which 10 samples were
prepared with different ethanol contents ranging from 0.02% to 10%, while 8 samples consisted of
commercial alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
The rapid enzymatic tests confirmed the presence of alcohol in the samples where alcohol was added, as
well as in two alcoholic beverages whose labels stated that they contained 5% and 5.5% alcohol.
Out of all samples, ethanol was detected in 55 analyses, while 35 analyses showed no ethanol presence.
The tests did not produce any false positive or false negative results. The determined sensitivity and
specificity of the enzymatic test were 100%, with a false positive rate of 0%, error α < 5%, false negative
rate of 0%, and error β < 5%.
