To produce powdered edible bird’s nest hydrolysate (EBNH), a significant amount of water must be removed after hydrolysis to improve the product’s stability, extend shelf life, and reduce transportation storage costs. This study investigates application cool-air hot-air drying methods, with particular focus on strategies suited for small medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Cool-air was performed at 17 °C using fan air conditioner, while conducted 55 65 dehydrator. The evaluated time, as well quality, moisture content, nitrite levels, total sialic acid antioxidant activity EBNH produced by each method. cost, feasibility these methods were compared freeze-drying spray-drying techniques from previous studies. Results showed that higher temperatures lower relative humidity improved efficiency, requiring shortest time. Chemical analysis revealed differences in content: cold-air-dried samples had highest content. Cost assessments demonstrated hot airdrying most efficient cost-effective method is especially advantageous SMEs due its balance affordability, ease implementation, making it ideal smaller-scale operations.
