Edible bird nest (EBN) is based from swiftlet's saliva and it is widely consumed as a health food due to its high beneficial effects to human health and has been considered to be one of the most precious food items by the Chinese for thousands of years. The role of a scaffolding nest is to guide the young swiftlet to build a typical form of the edible bird nest that will increase its commercial values. However, the price of edible bird nests decreased due to various shapes and sizes of EBN in the market. This study will design standard scaffolding nests followed by MS 2334:2011 and introduce the Calcium Carbonate as the main material and associate it with the stoneware body as the binder to create a natural environment to swiftlets.
