Edible bird's nest: The functional values of the prized animal-based bioproduct from Southeast Asia-A review

Edible Bird’s Nest (EBN) is the most prized health delicacy among the Chinese population in the world. Although some scientific characterization and its bioactivities have been studied and researched, no lights have been shed on its actual composition or mechanism. The aim of this review paper is to...
