Expert Profile
Prof. Dr. Irwandi Jaswir is the King Faisal International Prize 2018 laureate in Service to Islam. He obtained his Bachelor Degree in Food Technology and Human Nutrition, from Bogor Agricultural University, Indonesia; Masters and PhD in Food Chemistry and Biochemistry from Universiti Putra Malaysia.

He performed his Postdoctorate at the National Food Research Institute, Tsukuba, Japan. For many years, Irwandi has been known as a “Halal” Scientist. He contributes to the Muslim Ummah and serves to Islam through his tiredless and never-ending studies on the scientific halal-related issues and return the findings back to the Community through research publications, books, book chapters, halal-related training, education, community services, etc. He believes “Halal Science”, which includes halal materials as alternative for non halal materials a nd ingredients, halal authentications, development of rapid method for non-halal contamination, halal food and cosmetics, development of halal standard, etc, will not only the key element to protect the Muslims from consuming modern consumer products which are much more complex and very prone to non-halal contamination, but also the important component required to build the halal industry that can contribute to economy of Muslim Ummah. The market of halal industry nowadays is expected to be USD 3.0 trillion, unfortunately Muslims do not play their important roles and do not enjoy the huge market yet. To date, Irwandi has chalked up a remarkable achievement in research which include: more than 190 scientific papers published in reputable international journals; contributed to 35 book-chapters; presented more than 250 research papers in international conferences – including keynote address and invited lectures; written more than 30 non-refereed and mass-media scientific articles. His dedication to research has enabled him to file 6 patents under his name, and his outstanding achievement is recognised both locally and internationally bagging more 60 scientific awards, including the King Faisal International Prize 2018.
