Edible bird’s nest (EBN) is a delicacy rich in protein and carbohydrate from the salivary secretion of swiftlets. There are limited studies on the protein profile of EBN, mainly due to its complexity in chemical composition and diversity of species, as well as the capacity of analytical techniques....
