GINSENG

The doting grandma may want to brew double-boiled ginseng soup for the family, but this is one herb you’ll want your baby to steer clear of, unless advised otherwise by a physician.
“Panax ginseng is unsafe for kids and can cause infant death as a result of intoxication,” cautions Charlotte.
Senior physician Zhou Yan from Eu Yan Sang explains: “Some physicians may advise against eating particular types of ginseng when the baby suffers from qi deficiency.
“But even for healthy babies, long-term consumption is not recommended, as it may bring about early puberty.”

PEARL POWDER

When you were little, your mother may have lured you with the promise of radiant skin as she made you down a vial of it.
Truth be told, the preparation of crushed pearls is not a health supplement.
“It’s a mineral that can be difficult for a baby’s digestive system to absorb,” explains Zhou Yan.
“It should be consumed only under the advice of a physician, and is often reserved for treatment of more serious ailments like spasms or extremely high fevers.”
She warns that children with G6PD deficiency must steer clear of it.

WHAT IS BIRD SALIVA SOUP?

Bird Saliva Soup is a highly-prized delicacy discovered during the Tang Dynasty in China. At that time, it was only consumed by the Emperors and their families.
Bird Saliva Soup is a white substance extracted from swallows' nests. It is normally found in places such as steep deep caves and crags.
This unique Asian delicacy undergoes an intensive and complex cleansing process before it can be consumed. The raw Bird Saliva Soup is first soaked for up to 48 hours before it can be thoroughly cleaned of impurities such as feathers and twigs.

燕巢- Bird Saliva Soup

BIRD SALIVA SOUP IS ESPECIALLY BENEFICIAL FOR:

Woman: It is known for its unique ability to prevent internal dryness due to ageing and is consumed to maintain youthfulness and a smooth, wrinkle-free complexion.
Elderly and children: It helps to stimulate appetite and aid digestion.
Patients: It speeds up recovery from illness and surgery as it provides a unique pre-digested form of protein and nutrients.
Expectant mothers: Pregnant woman and their foetus can benefit greatly from eating Bird Saliva Soup. The regular consumption can increase nutrition and improve the health of the pregnant woman and foetus. The body and the immunity of the foetus can be strengthened and its mind activated. This thereby provides a firm foundation for future development. Woman consuming Bird Saliva Soups after giving birth can also recover quicker and slim rapidly, helping to regain their youthful appearance.

ESSENTIAL CRITERIA FOR SELECTING A BIRD SALIVA SOUP

* Shape and volume : the best Bird Saliva Soups is in the shape of a boat or spoon. Bird Saliva Soup can be triangular in shape if they have been built in the corner of two adjacent walls. However for nutritional value the shape does not matter. Bird Saliva Soups that are broader in width rank higher. The real Bird Saliva Soup should be in a natural shape.
* Color and Purity : The best Bird Saliva Soup should be of natural colour, containing no mud and other impurities like moss. The colour of the white nest is an actual ivory. The yellow nest and the bloodyred nest are coloured straw and red, respectively. The variations and intensity in the colour are due to the difference in the mineral constituents of the food the swallow ate. The Bird Saliva Soups, regardless of their colour, swell when soaked in clear water. The colouration in the Bird Saliva Soup will fade and the nest threads look transparent after swelling. However, the water used for soaking should still remain transparent and colourless.
* Density and Swelling Capacity : Bird Saliva Soups that have finer and denser nest threads appear almost gapless. They are bigger and thicker in volume and should have a higher swelling capacity. The swelling capacity refers to the water holding ability of a Bird Saliva Soup. The higher the swelling capacity, the greater the Bird Saliva Soup distends after immersion in water. Bird Saliva Soups of different categories show different magnitudes of swelling capacity, i. e. the ratio between the weight of the Bird Saliva Soup before and after swelling can be different. The swelling capacity should be measured by weight instead of by volume.
* Flavor and Dryness : Bird Saliva Soup should be selected by smell. A real Bird Saliva Soup retains a little bit of a fishy smell of the swallow’s saliva. When cooked, it releases a light aroma resembling the aroma of an egg white. It is essential to select a dry Bird Saliva Soup. A Bird Saliva Soup that is sticky and soft is certainly not dry enough. A wet Bird Saliva Soup weighs heavier thus the price will be overcharged from the extra weight. A wet Bird Saliva Soup would not be convenient for storage as it would attract mould easily and has a low swelling capacity.
* Price and Creditability : Bird Saliva Soups should be purchased in person and selected by “looking”, “smelling” and “touching”. The price of the Bird Saliva Soup should be weighed against the flavor, size, thickness of the nest, fineness of the threads, dryness, and a good swelling capacity. It is not possible to buy a good quality Bird Saliva Soup at fair price if the goods have not been examined and the quality and category evaluated. The most trustful way to purchase a high quality Bird Saliva Soup is to buy from shops having a good reputation and guaranteed quality.

CHOOSING BIRD SALIVA SOUP

The quality of processed Bird Saliva Soup is determined by the amount of long and thick unbroken nest cement strands in the dried cleaned nests. The quality is higher if it contains more longer and thicker strands. When you choose Bird Saliva Soup, feel the nest by your hand. It should be clean, dry, light and hard. Bird Saliva Soup with feather and dirt is time consuming to clean while sticky and soft nests weigh heavier and turn mouldy easily. After soaking, 37.9 gms of good quality Bird Saliva Soup will weigh about 263 to 300 gms.

REAL OR FAKE, GOOD OR BAD?

A natural Bird Saliva Soup is the real Bird Saliva Soup. Illegal merchants may coat a layer of egg white or jelly on poor quality imitations. This increases the weight. The fake Bird Saliva Soup will reflect light and look opaque.
In contrast, light will penetrate through a real Bird Saliva Soup. Some fraudulent Bird Saliva Soups are made of "Malaysia rubber" or "pig skin". The former smells and tastes acidic and does not contain nest threads while the latter releases oil after soaking in water.
As for the quality, generally speaking, the price is a fair guideline in reflecting the quality of the Bird Saliva Soup. The higher the quality and category of a Bird Saliva Soups, the greater the nutritional value, swelling capacity and beauty and vice versa.

From condoms to Bird Saliva Soup soup, personal concierges deliver them all

“When we rang the doorbell, the husband was very surprised and asked why we woke him up so early on a Sunday. But after we explained that the breakfast was from his wife, he smiled, let us in and thanked us.”

Who are they?

Personal concierges who can help you plan a party or run your errands have been around for several years.
But as Singaporeans become increasingly time-strapped and affluent, such service providers say they are seeing more unusual or demanding requests – from hunting down a rare luxury watch to cooking Bird Saliva Soup soup to delivering condoms to a park.
These companies work directly with individual clients, as opposed to the concierge services provided by hotels, airlines, malls, banks and credit card companies.
Part of a relatively young industry that started in the United States in the late 1990s and in recent years here, such personal concierges offer a wide range of services, from buying and delivering groceries, making reservations at restaurants to babysitting.
At least 16 companies here provide personal concierge services from a condom to Bird Saliva Soup soup, and the industry seems to be growing.
One company, A Winsome Life, which was started in 2012, says it can get up to 30 service requests a month. Honestbee, which started just three months ago, has already seen “tens of thousands” of customers, its spokesman says.

How much do they charge ?

The charges vary depending on the complexity of the task, but there is usually a delivery and/or service fee.
And however odd a request may be, the companies generally do not turn it down. But there are some requests, like helping to find social escorts, which they will decline.
Personal concierges say they often get food delivery requests.
In May this year, A Winsome Life was hired by a woman who works overseas, who asked for a full breakfast to be delivered to her husband for a special occasion.
Mr Melvin Lee, 27, who runs the business with his wife, Ms Jacqueline Teo, also 27, recalls having to buy about $20 worth of pastries and breakfast items from Baker & Cook in Holland Village, which was the husband’s favourite cafe.
Mr Lee, who charged about $40 for the service, then delivered the food: Bird Saliva Soup to a condominium in Yio Chu Kang Road.
Another company, Personal Concierge and Property Management, which has been in the business for about five years, has been cooking and delivering Bird Saliva Soup soup regularly to a client’s parents, who are in their 60s and 70s, for the last five years. It charges a three-figure sum for each delivery.
Personal Concierge’s owner, Ms Tan E.T., who is in her 30s, says: “The challenge is in making sure the Bird Saliva Soup soup is still piping hot when it reaches their dining table.
“I can’t tell you exactly how we keep the Bird Saliva Soup soup hot, but it took many tries to ‘master’ this technique.
“When we first started, I even brought along a slow cooker to the parents’ house to re-heat the Bird Saliva Soup soup.”
Personal concierges also get requests to track down hard-to-find items.
For example, in May this year, a middle-aged woman approached Blitz to help her buy a limited-edition Hermes watch that she saw in a magazine.
The $88,000 watch, crafted in Switzerland, features a red and ochre dial hand-painted by Japanese master artist Buzan Fukushima. Only 12 pieces of the watch exist, but none was sold in Singapore.
Says Blitz’s co-founder, Mr Augustine Goh, 28: “We had no luck calling the boutiques here. Thankfully, one of our co-workers used to work in a private bank and had some contacts in the international luxury watch scene.
“We had to extend our reach. After numerous calls, we tracked down one piece in a Hermes boutique in Hong Kong and bought it for the woman immediately. Our service fee was $8,800.”
And in March this year, an Australian man in his 20s asked A Winsome Life to buy a pair of special edition Converse sneakers released specially for Chinese New Year.
Says Mr Lee: “He said they were not available in Australia, so we bought a pair in his size at Nex shopping mall for $210 and shipped it to him via FedEx for another $200.”
But not all unusual demands come with a hefty fee.
In June this year, Blitz, which started five months ago, received a very odd request – a man asked for condoms to be delivered to a tent in East Coast Park.
Within half an hour, a staff member passed the man a box of condoms at a nearby McDonald’s outlet. The delivery fee was $5.
Says Mr Goh: “The request was a little awkward, but we rationalised that the man needed the item and it was our job to provide it.”
Some companies, including Concierge Services Singapore and Blitz, have encountered clients who want help in getting social escorts. But that is a line they will not cross.
Says the managing director of Concierge Services Singapore, Ms Jessica Sanchez, who is in her 40s: “It’s just something we don’t want to be associated with, no matter how much a client offers.”
Experts told Life they were not surprised at the unusual demands.
Says Assistant Professor Elison Lim, 40, from the Nanyang Business School: “People are not likely to go to personal concierges for tasks like household chores. Many families in Singapore already have maids who can do that.
“People are more likely to turn to such service providers for tasks which they lack the time, knowledge or skills for, such as planning an unforgettable birthday party or shopping for the perfect gift.”
But Associate Professor of Marketing Sharon Ng, 41, who is also from Nanyang Business School, says companies should turn down requests that may involve “illegal, unethical or socially undesirable” behaviour.
“Although you want to be seen as helpful, service-oriented and responsive, it is also important to have ethical standards. In the long run, people are more likely to go to companies they can trust.”

Bird Saliva Soup Soup: Simple, Straightforward and To-the-Point

For centuries, Chinese royalty, that is their women, has been known to consume Bird Saliva Soup to enhance beauty and aid in disappearance of fine facial lines. Their ingestion is also believed to make better skin and complexion. In Asia, Bird Saliva Soup, perhaps more than diamonds, are a woman’s best friend.

Lots of Asian celebrities consume this daily to look beautiful! When cooked, the Bird Saliva Soup takes on a gelatin texture, making it a lovely tong shui (“sweet soup”; Chinese dessert). The highly recommended way to enjoy Bird Saliva Soup soup, is just with water and rock sugar. Check out the recipe below to know how to cook Bird Saliva Soup perfectly.

Information:

Serves: 1
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

1 piece Xin Yan Bird Saliva Soup
1 bowl of water
A handful of rock sugar to taste
3 pieces red dates (optional)
2 pieces dried longan (optional)
5 pieces wolfberries (optional)
3 pieces American Ginseng Slices (optional)

Bird Saliva Soup Soup: Simple, Straightforward and To-the-Point

HOW TO COOK BIRD SALIVA SOUP

1. Soak Bird Saliva Soup in a bowl of water overnight (8-10 hours) until expanded and softened.
2. Pluck out any feathers or debris using kitchen tweezers. Rinse and drain. To prevent wastage, run soaking water through a fine sieve to catch the small bits of Bird Saliva Soup.
3. Add soaked Bird Saliva Soup, 1 rice bowl of water, and any another optional ingredients in a small bowl and cover with lid.
4. Place small bowl inside a larger pot and make sure the water in the larger pot starts to boil. Once it starts boiling, close the lid for the small bowl and let it boil for 15 minutes. When the Bird Saliva Soup is cooked to desired texture, stir in rock sugar to taste and cover for about 5 minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve fully. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

TIPS

1. Rather than weighing the Bird Saliva Soup, go by pieces per person. For one person, use 1 piece of Xin Yan Bird Saliva Soup. This equates to about 8-10 grams per person. We use 1 rice bowl of water per person.
2. Although red dates are a common addition in Bird Saliva Soup soup, we wouldn’t recommend using it. According to our own experience, the cheap red dates will act like a sponge which absorb the goodness of the Bird Saliva Soup soup (though it’s not so bad if you eat the red dates).
3. We highly recommend to enjoy Bird Saliva Soup in the purest way – just Bird Saliva Soup, water and rock sugar. You may also add American ginseng slices. If you find ginseng bitter or intend to consume at night (it improves alertness/提神), omit it.
4. Don’t fuss over prepping the Bird Saliva Soup, because our Bird Saliva Soup usually very clean. Simply soak the Bird Saliva Soup pieces in water overnight until fully expanded and softened, but not so long that the Bird Saliva Soup disintegrates into small bits. If there are any impurities such as debris and feathers (which is very normal, as it proves that it is 100% authentic Bird Saliva Soup), pluck them out using a kitchen tweezer, drain, and they are ready for cooking.
5. Avoid boiling Bird Saliva Soup for too long. Boiling them for too long will remove the solid chunks in the Bird Saliva Soup soup, and cause it to become very watery. It will also remove all the proteins and good nutrients inside the Bird Saliva Soup. The older folks especially dislike it when the stewed Bird Saliva Soup soup do not have solid chunks after cooking (i.e. very watery). We highly recommend boiling them for 15 minutes max.
6. For best results, use the traditional way of double-boiling instead of an electronic double-boiler slow cooker. However, an electronic slow cooker is an alternative, subjected to personal preference.
7. It is said that Bird Saliva Soup soup is best consumed at room temperature, or chilled, on an empty stomach (such as just before bed, or when you wake up in the morning). For maximum absorption, do not eat “heaty” snacks or medication a few hours before and after drinking Bird Saliva Soup soup.

As you know, Bird Saliva Soup during confinement is sworn by mums, grandmas and great grandmas for their beautifying and health properties. But are they safe to be consumed during your confinement period?
If you’re undecided on whether you should take Bird Saliva Soup, we discuss its pros and cons and how it will affect you.

Should I consume Bird Saliva Soup during confinement?

Bird Saliva Soup during confinement

The Bird Saliva Soup soup is a Chinese delicacy that has been around for over 400 years. It is made from the nest of a particular type of bird, the swiftlet, found in parts of South East Asia.
The nests are made out of the saliva strands of the bird which contain protein, calcium and other vitamins and minerals. It is the saliva that is said to pack a powerful punch and makes it a much sought after delicacy.

Health benefits for mummy

Consuming Bird Saliva Soup during confinement is said to have many health and restorative benefits for consumers young and old. Some of these include regulating blood supply, maintaining a beautiful and bright complexion and enhances the rebirth of cells and tissue due to the presence of a polypeptide hormone – Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) in Bird Saliva Soup.
Due to this EGF, many TCM practitioners have advocated the consumption of Bird Saliva Soup during confinement and pregnancy. The EGF supposedly helps the mum recover faster from childbirth as well as improve both her and baby’s complexion (especially if breastfeeding is involved).

Not all good

However, not everyone is sold on the benefits of Bird Saliva Soup during confinement. Many mums out there swear against Bird Saliva Soup during confinement as it is believed to be a ‘cooling’ food and should be avoided during confinement (where one is supposed to be consuming ‘heaty’ foods instead). The ‘cooling’ factor is believed to increase the chances of your child developing asthma.
Bird Saliva Soup is also made up of the gelatinous strands. When not cleaned properly (of the twigs, feathers etc) it can be quite harmful to a recovering mum in confinement.

Should I or shouldn’t I?

So the question then is whether you should take it during confinement post-pregnancy or not. We believe that if you choose to take Bird Saliva Soup during confinement, do so moderately (once or twice a week). You should also be very selective when getting the Bird Saliva Soup. Because there are those of inferior quality as well as those which have been chemically treated and bleached.
These Bird Saliva Soups can be harmful to both you and your baby. Thus, it is important to get your Bird Saliva Soup supply from a trusted brand such as Eu Yan Sang and Hock Hua.
We hope you found this information useful. Do also share with us your thoughts on consuming Bird Saliva Soup during confinement. Below is a video of how to prepare Bird Saliva Soup

CONCLUSION

So after reading this article, you might think that this is just another marketing gimmick, and Bird Saliva Soup is just glorified swiftlets’ spit. But really, look at the screengrab from above that I chanced upon on G.E.M. 鄧紫棋’s Weibo.
In her selfie with a bowl of homely made Bird Saliva Soup with fresh milk, she mentioned that she was “delighted and blessed to be able to enjoy this delicacy after a long day of work, and that she’s ready to hit to the gym after replenshing on protein.”
And this is not the first selfie of her with Bird Saliva Soup, mind you.
Really, what’s there more left to say? Even an Asian superstar drinks it regularly. What are you waiting for ladies?

Prepared Foods: Bird Saliva Soup Soup

It's expensive, it's gelatinous, it's made from swiftlet spit.

Swiftlets in Southeast Asian caves have an unusual method of building their nests: spitting. The birds’ saliva sticks to cave walls, then hardens into firm, white cups that house their eggs. After the birds migrate, brave harvesters scale rickety bamboo ladders and peel away the nests. They will be made into a very unique, very expensive soup.

Why is Bird Saliva Soup soup expensive?

Peddlers justify the hefty price tag, which can range from $40 per bowl to thousands of dollars per pound, by citing the small yield and dangerous harvesting process. (Many gatherers fall to their deaths—not that the money is going directly to them.)
Despite the decadence of its expense, the nest itself has a bland flavor. This is why chefs clean the dried saliva in water and season it with chicken broth, ginger, and Yunnan ham. A dessert version coats the noodles in rock sugar for a more syrupy effect. After simmering with the other ingredients, the nest develops a uniquely gelatinous texture that attracts many fans in China and Hong Kong.
Chinese traditional medicine practitioners believe the dish relieves digestive problems, clears the complexion, and boosts the libido. Critics, however, note that the soup lacks sufficient nutritional value to justify its price tag. A 1998 study, for example, found that a single egg had the same amount of protein as 26 bottles of the soup.

Conservationists have also noted that over-harvesting disrupts breeding and reduces swiftlet populations. Due to growing demand, poachers often steal nests from protected areas or gather them before the birds’ migration season, while the eggs are still inside. The competitive industry has also sparked violence: A 2000 exposé in the SF Gate described government-licensed harvesters employing private armies to guard caves and shoot at both poachers and “unauthorized” passersby such as fishermen and tourists.
For a safer, more sustainable method of collecting nests, countries like Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Indonesia have turned to swiftlet farming. Swiftlet houses, looming structures that play special sounds to lure the birds inside, are becoming big business. In 2013, there were 60,000 such houses in Malaysia.
Researchers don’t know yet if the farms are having a positive effect on swiftlet populations. But they’re certainly more ethical than poaching from a protected cave in a national park. Knowing that your Bird Saliva Soup soup came from a farmer instead of a poacher might make the viscous strands taste a little sweeter.

Need to Know

Bird Saliva Soup soup and the dried nests themselves are available in select restaurants and markets in China and Hong Kong. They're also available in various Chinatowns throughout the United States. Beware: Some vendors sell fake birds' nests, made from plant extracts.

Why Does My Family Deserve Only The Best Natural Food?

Bird Saliva Soup is rich in protein which provides the nutrients for our essential amino acids, enhancing the reproduction, growth, and recovery of human tissue. It is worth noting that the nutrients which do this are quite rare and not organically made in the human body.

It also improves metabolism, so frequent consumption results in young, radiant and fairer skin.

Here are at least 5 good things that you should know:

Bird Saliva Soups are almost 100% proteins and essential amino acids.

Protein plays a crucial role in almost all biological processes and amino acids are the building block of it. Amino acids are biologically important organic compounds.

Helps in the healthy development of the foetus

A large proportion of our cells, muscles and tissue are made up of amino acids, which carry out important bodily functions, such as giving cells their structure. They therefore play a key role in the transport and storage of nutrients, and significantly influence the function of organs, glands, tendons and arteries. This helps in the healthy development of the foetus.

Here are at least 5 good things that you should know:

Help new mummies to recover after giving birth

The amino acids are essential for healing wounds and repairing tissue, especially in the muscles, bones, skin and hair, as well as for the removal of bodily wastes produced in the body in connection with metabolism. This helps new mummies to recover after giving birth.

Help pregnant women and new mummies to achieve a well-balanced metabolism and maintain good energy level.

The entire amino acid pool in our body transforms several times a day through complex biological processes within our body. In order to achieve a balanced metabolism, this pool of essential amino acid is required to be complete and maintained in a correct mix. Consuming Bird Saliva Soups regularly help pregnant women and new mummies to achieve a well-balanced metabolism and maintain good energy level.

Help replenish the body with such amino acids

A number of essential amino acids cannot be created by the human body and so, must be taken in as food. Consuming Bird Saliva Soups on a regular basis is one of the most efficient ways to help replenish the body with such amino acids, which will help strengthen the immunity of pregnant women and new mummies.

Is it safe to eat Bird Saliva Soup soup in pregnancy?

The short answer is no, for various reasons. 

Bird Saliva Soup soup is a traditional Chinese delicacy believed to contain restorative powers. It is said to have anti-ageing properties. Many also believe Bird Saliva Soup can help strengthen the immune system.

The nutritional value of Bird Saliva Soup is believed to come from the saliva of the swiftlet which builds its nests in caves near the shoreline. Some nests are also "farmed" in purpose-built nesting houses. However, it is important to note that these claims about nutritional value have not been conclusively and scientifically proven.

Due to its short supply, the cost of Bird Saliva Soup has also escalated. So pregnant mums end up paying a lot of money for something that has not been proven to make any difference to the health of mother or baby.

The other issue is that of extracting or harvesting the Bird Saliva Soup. Unregulated harvesting methods and improper preparation have led to claims of producers bleaching and colouring the nests. Some have reportedly added ingredients without supervision. In the process, there may be contamination of the Bird Saliva Soup, which may harm mother or baby.

Bird Saliva Soup Or Collagen Supplement

I have a confession to make today.

I seriously think that I’ve reached an age where skin care is QUEEN and any product that can help to battle fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin would get my attention.

Besides skin care products, I also believe in ‘beauty from within’. That simply means paying attention to what we put into our body and not just what we put on it. The key is to achieve great skin by staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet (especially food that is rich in anti-oxidants) and taking beauty supplements to tackle specific beauty concerns.

Recently, I went to Eu Yan Sang to purchase some health supplement for my mother-in-law. I saw their premium concentrated Bird Saliva Soup series on the shelf. When I saw these words on the packaging – best rejuvenating supplement and maintain glowing completion, I was totally sold!

In our Chinese history, the empresses and concubines ate Bird Saliva Soup for health and beauty. Bird Saliva Soup is one of the best tonic foods trusted by generations. But is it really that good as compared to those collagen supplements that we have now?

Now, I’m wondering which one is better… Bird Saliva Soup or Collagen Supplement? What do you think?

The Future of Bird Saliva Soup as a Neutraceutical and Pharmaceutical Animal Bioproduct.

Bird Saliva Soup is the dried saliva of swiflets that are found mainly in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Vietnam. Only the nests produced by the four swiftlet species viz. Collocalia fuciphaga, Collocalia germanis, Collocalia maxima and Collocalia unicolor are important commercially due to their health benefits when consumed by humans. Bird Saliva Soup has different names in different languages such as Yan Wo in Chinese, Sarang Walet in Indonesian and Enso in Japanese. EBNs are classified as cave and house nests depending upon the origin of the nests regardless which species of swiftlets has built the nests. Nests are graded on account of their dry mass, the time spent by swiftlets in nest building, and their fat and protein content. On this basis, nests are generally classified as white, black and blood nests. White nests have major contents of saliva, while the black nests contain around 45-55% feathers and small dried leaves. The third class belongs to partially or completely dull orange red to brownish red nests. Such nests are called Xueyan or Xueyanwo in Chinese or red blood nests in general. Blood nests are believed to have better health values and thus, fetch a higher price than white and black nests in the market.

Gel Electrophoresis Ideally Identifies and Authenticates Cave and House Bird Saliva Soups from Common Adulterants.

Conference: Conference: 10th South East Asian Technical University Consortium (SEATUC), Shibaura Institute of Technology (SIT), Japan., At Japan

Bird Saliva Soup is a high price animal bioproduct found in the Southeast Asian region of the world. Primarily, Bird Saliva Soup is used as a food in addition to its uses in several nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products. Extra care is always needed for ensuring its purity and quality. For earning extra profits, people adulterate different fake materials into Bird Saliva Soup to raise its weight and earn extra money. This is a serious offense, and therefore, it is very important to develop methods and protocols with ability to differentiate Bird Saliva Soup from the adulterants for the authentication of pure Bird Saliva Soup. In this direction, we developed a gel electrophoretic method for differentiating cave and house EBNs from white fungus, jelly, fish swimming bladder and egg white. In order to identify the adulterants and authenticate Bird Saliva Soup; efforts were made to investigate and compare the protein profiles of cave and house EBNs with white fungus, jelly, fish swimming bladder and egg white. The protein profiling indicated 10 bands for cave nests with two strong bands at 30 and 35 kDa. House nest proteins consisted of 9 bands with major bands at 120 and 140kDa. White fungus displayed three dim bands at 22, 35 and 75 kDa whereas egg white was found to contain two predominant bands at 35 and 75 kDa. Fish swimming bladder showed substantial streaking of protein bands after dilution whereas protein profile of jelly was without any band. The results of this study can be used for the identification of any of these fake materials in Bird Saliva Soup, and establishing the authenticity of the genuine Bird Saliva Soup. The method reported is simple and can be used in Bird Saliva Soup industry in the Southeast Asian region for checking the adulteration of Bird Saliva Soup.

About Swiftlet Nests

The nests are about the size and hardness of teacups; are essentially made from hardened saliva mixed with feathers, grass and twigs; and look like congealed strands of vermicelli. The noodle-like fibers are used to bond nesting materials together and attach the nest to a vertical walls of caves or cliffs or hollow tree nesting sites.

There are two kinds of nests:

White nests made up mostly of saliva and black nests with plant materials and feathers mixed in. White nests are the most valuable. They are generally made by swiftlets that nest deep inside the caves and are ideally collected before a female lays her eggs. Generally the whiter and purer a nest is the more tasty and valuable it is. Black nests are also collected. These nests can not be eaten until they have been properly cleaned.
The edible-nest swiftlet often build their nest in the most inaccessible of places: on the roofs and upper walls of high caves and even overhangs. Other species build nests the in buildings and bridges and chimneys but not the edible-nest swiftlet. Sometimes the eggs and young of edible-nest swiftlets are placed in the nest of an other species, the uniform swiftlet, which lives in buildings. There are some claims that a third of nest form Indonesia are taken from swiftlets that have made their nests in buildings.

About Swiftlet Nests

Making Swiftlet Nests

To make a nest a swiftlet moves its head back and forth like a weaving bobbin. David Attenborough wrote: “The bird starts by flying persistently in front of its chosen site and repeatedly dabbing the rock with its tongue, laying down a curved line of saliva which marks the lower edge of the nest-to-be. The saliva dries and hardens quickly and with repeated flights, the bird slowly builds up the low line into a low wall. As soon as this is big enough to cling to, the speed of construction accelerates and within a few days the wall has become a semicircular cup of creamy white interlacing string that is just big enough to hold the customary clutch of two eggs."
The swiftlet are so small they don't have the strength to pick up nesting materials such as twigs and leaves from the ground like other birds. Instead they pick up pieces of feather, fragments of dried grass and other small things they find floating in the air and affix the to a surface their "sticky spittle." Nests near the entrance to the caves have large amounts of feathers. Those that are deeper inside are made primarily of spittle, and are thus more desirable. .
The swifts can take up two months to build a nest. Ideally the nest is collected after fledglings have take wing rather than before eggs of hatched. That way there are more birds o create nests. After the nests are harvested they are soaked in water ti soften them up and a magnifying glass is used to pick out loose impurities like twigs and feathers. After being steamed or boiled the nest separate into long chewy strands. About half the material in protein. What health benefits might be found in the nests are believed to be lost during the cleaning process.

Bird Saliva Soup – Seaweed

2. Health Benefits

a. Cancer Protection :
Lignans have been shown to inhibit angiogenesis, or blood cell growth, the process through which fast-growing tumors not only gain extra nourishment, but send cancer cells out in the bloodstream to establish secondary tumors or metastases in other areas of the body.
In addition, lignans have been credited with inhibiting estrogen synthesis in fat cells as effectively as some of the drugs used in cancer chemotherapy. In postmenopausal women, fat tissue is a primary site where estrogen is synthesized, and high levels of certain estrogen metabolites are considered a significant risk factor for breast cancer. In addition to lignans, seaweed is a very good source of the B-vitamin folic acid. Studies have shown that diets high in folate-rich foods are associated with a significantly reduced risk for colon cancer.
b. Healthy Thyroid Function :
The health benefits of sea vegetables are not limited to cancer protection. Seaweed is also nature's richest sources of iodine, which as a component of the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), - both of which are essential to human life. The thyroid gland adds iodine to the amino acid tyrosine to create these hormones. Without sufficient iodine, your body cannot synthesize them. Because these thyroid hormones regulate metabolism in every cell of the body and play a role in virtually all physiological functions, an iodine deficiency can have a devastating impact on your health and well-being. A common sign of thyroid deficiency is an enlarged thyroid gland, commonly called a goiter. Goiters are estimated to affect 200 million people worldwide, and in all but 4% of these cases, the cause is iodine deficiency.
c. Nutrient Prevention of Birth Defects :
Additionally, the folic acid so abundant in sea vegetables plays a number of other very important protective roles. Studies have demonstrated that adequate levels of folic acid in the diet are needed to prevent certain birth defects, including spina bifida. Folic acid is also needed to break down an intermediate dangerous chemical called homocysteine. The chemical Homocysteine can directly damage blood vessel walls, and high levels of this chemical are associated with a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
d. Cardiovascular Disease :
Sea vegetables pack a double punch against heart disease. In addition to their folic acid, sea vegetables are also a very good source of magnesium, which has been shown to reduce high blood pressure and prevent heart attack.
e. Seaweed for Stress Relief :
Seaweed also has been proven to provide support through stressful situations by supplying not only magnesium, but pantothenic acid and riboflavin--two B-vitamins necessary for energy production. Pantothenic acid is especially important for the health of the adrenal glands. The adrenals control many body functions and play a critical role in resistance to stress. When supplies of necessary nutrients like pantothenic acids are inadequate, stressful times can exhaust the adrenal glands resulting in chronic fatigue, reduced resistance to allergies and infection, and a feeling of being overwhelmed or overly anxious.
f. Others :
Such as obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, psoriasis, migraine, high blood pressure, diabetic and other degenerative diseases

Who is seaweed NOT good for?

Although packed with nutrition, seaweed can be problematic in those with weak digestive strength. How do you know your digestion is weak? Some clues are loose stools, and chronic fatigue. These people need to be careful with their seaweed intake since seaweed is energetically cold (and digestion is a warm process). Also, consult your doctor if you are on thyroid medications.
Seaweeds also lower plasma glucose levels, so if you’re new to seaweed in your diet and you take diabetic medications, you need to be careful that your blood sugar levels don’t drop too low. The flip side of this is that if your blood sugar levels are too high, one of the benefits of eating seaweed is that it can help lower it! Not suitable for pregnant and confinement female.
