Edible Bird's Nest: An Incredible Salivary Bioproduct from Swiftlets

Edible bird's nest (EBN) is a highly prized food and tonic among several ethnic groups in Southeast Asia. China is becoming more affluent with EBN, and the overall demand of EBN is exploding. The recently established health effects of EBN have made it a highly expensive animal bioproduct. There are several discussions in the book which are expected to be useful to the general readers, swiftlet farmers and researchers. Owing to the amazing food and medicinal values of EBN, we are glad to bring these beautiful assets of EBN at a higher stage through this book; so that more and more populations can know about this wonderful bioproduct.
