The global halal food market rises rapidly. This brought an opportunity for fishery products to gain this market share as fish is considered halal. The innovation of research in fisheries product development becomes important in delivering food products to be successful in the market. To broaden student’s knowledge about halal food management, BFBT held a general lecture on Halal Food Management in Fishery Products delivered by Assoc. Prof. Noranizan Mohd. Adzahan (Universiti Putra Malaysia) in 26 July 2017. Her major research interest involves Food Processing and Non-thermal Technology. She has authored and co-authored several national and international publications and also working as a reviewer for reputed professional journals. By joining this general lecture, students had an opportunity to access updated information about halal food management.

Seaweed and fishery products are groups of food with a potential source of probiotics and prebiotics. Research on the gut microbiome has been published widely and reported to be strongly connected to human health by improving host immunity. BFPT held a guest lecture on “Gut Microbiome and Human Health” delivered by Prof. Cindy H. Nakatsu from Purdue University, USA on 10 March 2017. She shared her expertise and research activities on the effect of agricultural-based products on the gut microbiome in children with a controlled diet. Prof Cindy H. Nakatsu is a professor on microbial ecology. Her current research is related to the impact of anthropogenic factors on microbial community structure. She has published many scientific papers and also assigned as a reviewer in reputable journals. This lecture offered a good opportunity to the students to get new insight about microbial community, its role in humans and the environment, and methods for analyzing microbial community structure.

HACCP is the quality management in food industry to assure the safety of products.
