course introductionThe edible bird nest (EBN) industry is a multimillion dollar enterprise as the raw or unprocessed bird’s nest is valued at RM 2,000 to 6,000/ kg. The cleaned nest is retailed at the price range of RM8, 000 to RM20, 000/ kg and is one of the indus-tries that are not affected by the global recession. Due to its high price and demand, there have been many reports of fake or adulterated EBN made from fish skin, mushroom, algae, karaya gum, red sea weed, Tremella fungus, natural plant gum, sodium alginate, jelly fungus, jelly, fish isinglass and egg white. These materials are routinely incorporated during commercial processing prior to final sale and increased the weight between 10-30%. Hence, it is a great concern to authenticate the purity of EBN and regulates the law to inspect EBN sold in the market to combat adulteration.
House farming of swiftlets begun in Indonesia as early as 1800. The industry has considerable developed since then. EBN is cultivated by cross fostering, where the eggs of the white bellied swiftlets are replaced with the eggs of EBN produc-ing swiftlets, thus establishing a new population of EBN producing swiftlets. While population of the cave EBN swiftlets have been declining due to over exploita-tion of their nests, this reduction has been considerably off set by the rapidly growing house farming of the EBN swiftlets in Indonesia.
Dried and cleaned EBN is double boiled with sugar to become bird’s nest soup for consumption. With the advancement in technology, a large variety of EBN related products has emerged in the market. These products are readily served in canned or pre-cooked form; some even incorporate EBN in Nutraceutical and cosmeceutical products. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), EBN is believed to offer good effect for treating consumptive diseases, curing tubercu-losis, dry coughs, suppressing cough and phlegm dyspnea (difficult breathing), alleviating asthma, hemoptysis (coughing blood), improving the voice, asthe-nia, stomach ulcer, relieving gastric troubles, and general weakness of bron-chial ailments.
