What is the difference between Indonesia and Malaysia in the origin of bird's nest?

Bird's nest is mostly produced in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and other Southeast Asian regions. Among them, the bird's nest industry in Indonesia is very developed, accounting for 80% of the world's total demand every year, followed by the bird's nest in Malaysia, accounting for about 12%.

It is absolutely certain that bird's nest in different areas is exactly the same. Different production environments (such as rainfall and food types in Jin Siyan) may lead to some differences in the appearance of bird's nest in different places, but these differences will not affect the quality of the same level of bird's nest. Why?

2. Does the place of origin determine the quality of bird's nest?

As we all know, bird's nest is rich in nutrition, among which sialic acid plays the most important role. Modern pharmacological research shows that sialic acid has antibacterial, detoxicating, anti-tumor, Alzheimer's disease, leukocyte adhesion inhibition and anti-inflammatory effects. For mothers and babies, sialic acid helps the baby's brain development and improves the immunity of mothers and babies.

Is there a significant difference in sialic acid content of bird's nest in different countries? China Journal of Biochemical Pharmacy (No.30, 2009) reported "Study on the determination method of sialic acid content in bird's nest". The quality standard of bird's nest was established by selecting bird's nest from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Viet Nam for sialic acid determination. Now let's take a look at the results:

Let's take Bai Yan Lampard as an example. The results showed that the sialic acid content of Bai Yan Lampard was 10.79%, and that of Bai Yan Lampard was 10.08%. Therefore, as long as it is pure natural Lampard, there is no obvious difference in sialic acid content between Malaysian and Indonesian bird's nest. So the difference between bird's nest is not the place of origin, but the processing technology!

3. Malaysian fraud VS Indonesian fraud

Objectively speaking, Indonesia's bird's nest has a long history, with decades or even hundreds of years of history. While the processing technology is mature, the counterfeiting technology is also developed. Of course, Indonesia must have pure natural bird's nest, and Malaysia also has inferior bird's nest.

Therefore, this is also the reason why I ask you not to be too superstitious about the origin label ~ ~ ~ Learning to identify true and false bird's nest is far more reliable than the origin label. If you have time, take some time to look at the appraisal.
