Evaluation of the Aerodramus fuciphagus and Aerodramus maximus edible birds nests' digestive enzymes

The swiftlets of Asia are known to use their saliva as nest building material during the breeding season. It is speculated that enzymes present in the saliva are the key valuable components of EBN for the possible medicinal and therapeutic effects. However, to our knowledge study on enzymes in EBN a...
