Cleaning the nest is an important but time-consuming process. Proper cleaning of the nest will help keep the precious nutrients in the nest. The cleaning process needs attention and caution. Phuoc Tin will introduce you to the common cleaning methods in the article below.

The cleaning & grooming process is popular in the market

In general, cleaning the Nest is the process of removing impurities such as sand, feathers, eggshell, etc. The usual cleaning process involves soaking the nest in water to become swollen. This allows us to use tongs to easily separate the large feathers from the nest. However, it is important to be aware that washing can dissolve nutrients into the water.

To get rid of the remaining small feathers, many people recommend using vegetable oil to make the feathers float to the surface of the water. However, the use of vegetable oil will dissolve some of the precious nutrients in bird's nest.

Some manufacturers also perform some bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide to bleach the nest. Using hydrogen peroxide significantly reduces labor effort because of the rapidity of the process.

In addition to bleaching the nest to white, the main effect of using hydrogen peroxide will discolor black feathers (impurities). Therefore, the nest looks clean and white, but in reality, some feathers are still in the nest. The use of such chemicals also reduces the quality of the nest.

In fact, no manufacturer has ever tried to evaluate the hydrogen peroxide content in the nest after processing. Currently, there are not any clear guidelines in any country for the limit control of hydrogen peroxide content. Therefore, consumers will have to suffer health concerns when using a bleach-cleaned nest. Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful oxidant and is harmful to the human body. Therefore, to avoid nests treated with hydrogen peroxide, it is best for consumers not to buy oats of unknown origin and should learn carefully about the manufacturer before deciding to buy.

After the cleaning process, the bird's nest fibers are separated and the damaged fibers are arranged to form the nest by molding. Next, that is the process of drying the nest. Drying will involve the use of fans and air drying. Many workers do not have knowledge of hygienic food processing, so they do not dry the nest quickly. This process allows enough time for bacteria and fungi to proliferate on the nest. Even the color of some nests will turn brown or yellowish, however, the seller can tell that it is the natural color of the nest.

From the usual cleaning methods and procedures relevant to the bird nest processing industry, it can be seen that the conventional nest cleaning process can have the following disadvantages:

• The use of bleach can damage and even destroy some essential nutrients in the Nest.

• Additives reduce the nutritional and medicinal value of Nest.

• Preservatives also reduce the quality of the nest.

• Not interested in preserving nutrients during handling.

• The process of preserving the Nest of untrained workers.

• Little or no concern for hygiene and quality control measures.
