“…In Figure 1 lane 1 (bovine whey) Ig, BSA, α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin were observed. Several faint bands probably correspond to α-lactalbumin dimers and β-lactoglobulin octamers (Merin et al, 2001). Lane 2 and 3 are camel whey.…”

To characterize major protein fraction in Algerian dromedary's milk, two samples from Sahraoui population collected from two different regions were analyzed using electrophoretic and chromatographic techniques. Casein components and whey proteins were separated by DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography and Sephacryl S200 permeation gel chromatography respectively, and then identified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis which looked different from the corresponding patterns of the caseins and whey proteins from cow milk. Differences in casein composition between camel and bovine milk may influence their digestibility, hydrolysis of camel milk caseins using four different proteases (trypsin, chymotrypsin, pepsin and papain) was studied. Caseins were more rapidly hydrolyzed by pepsin because of the greater number of potential pepsin cleavage sites present in the primary structures of camel caseins.

“…In addition, camel milk proteins are the most determining constituents in preventing/curing food-born allergies. This is because camel milk lacks β-lactoglobulin [24] and possesses a different β-casein (Beg, 1986) than cow milk. These proteins make cow milk allergenic.…”

“…The fact that camel milk lacks beta lactoglobulin and has different beta casein structure (mainly of A2 subtype against A1 for a big proportion of cows), two powerful allergens in cow's milk, makes the milk attractive for children suffering from milk allergies (Makinen-Kiljunen and Palosuo 1992; Merin et al 2001). …”

Camel milk and meat are good source of nutrients for the peoples living especially in the arid and urban areas. Camel milk and meat are unique from other ruminant's milk and meat in terms of composition as well as claimed health effects. Camel milk has low cholesterol, high minerals (sodium, potassium, iron, copper, zinc and magnesium) and high vitamin C when compared with other ruminant milk. Camel milk contains various fatty acids, enzymes and protective proteins. Camel milk has potential therapeutic effects, such as antibacterial, antiviral, antidiabetic, anti-ageing and anticarcinogenic. The medicinal properties of camel milk can be attributed to the presence of protective proteins, which may possibly play a pivotal role for the enhancement of immune defence mechanism. Not only camel milk, but also camel meat in general, is considered a functional food for cures and remedy for many ailments such as seasonal fever, sciatica, shoulder pain, asthma, removing freckles and for improved performance, in many cultures around the world. Therefore, it is important to illustrate the overview of compositions and medicinal values of camel milk and meat.ARTICLE HISTORY
