Differentiation of Malaysian farmed and commercialised edible bird's nests through nutritional composition analysis
The growing demand of edible bird’s nest (EBN) worldwide as well as competition from neighbouring countries has made the EBN industry one of the rising industries in Malaysia with stringent exportation requirement by China. However, as majority of the EBN products in the market is in commercialised...
