AB  - In many years ago, consumers in Malaysia do not recognize the term of enzyme. However, the fact
that today most consumers have known the term even though in general. Indirectly, it shows the spread out
of the use of enzymes in food production in Malaysia. Enzyme is a kind of material which is consisting of
protein and it is available in all living systems. Even living systems are in need of the enzyme function. It serves
as a catalyst for reactions that occur in living systems. Catalyzing a reaction means the reaction can not occur
or occurs at a slower rate in the absence of the enzyme. With the enzyme, the reaction can occur at a rate as
required and finally produce a product that may be useful for the Muslim community. The finding of this study
shows the importance of enzymes in the production of food products, medicine and so on. But however, the
Muslim scholars decided that the enzyme must be derived from lawful sources if not, any product containing
it would be unlawful to be consumed. The importance of this study is very relevant to Muslim community
because it will help to solve the problem of food products, medicine and the like in relating to legal decision.
