“…Therefore, camel milk can be considered as a good source of these minerals for human. These findings were in agreement with the results reported by [9,18,26,34,35,37,43]. However, Farida and Srikumar [44] reported that the concentration of manganese and iron in camels' milk was higher (7-20-fold and 4-10-fold, respectively) than in human milk, cows 'milk and infant formula.…”

“…These results are in consonance with the results of Wernery et al [35]. The fat content in the present study was found lower in comparison to that of fat content noted in camels by [5,18,23,26,28,29,31,32,36,37]. This low percentage is certainly due to an environmental difference reflecting the desert nature of our country.…”

“…Mean value of protein (Table 2) was found to be 3.71±0.16, ranging from 3.5 to 4.5g/100g. These results are in consonance with the results of [11,17,25,26]. These findings are higher compared to those of [26][27][28][29][30][31] which revealed the protein content of camel milk ranging from 1.80-3.9%.…”

The camel (Camelus dromedarius) is of significant socio-economic importance in the United Arab Emirates and its milk constitutes an important component of human diets in this country. In the present study, the analysis of nutritional value and medicinal properties of camel milk was recorded. The mean values of the main components monitored (g per 100 g) were: density (1.024±0.0021), pH values (6.67±0.059), moisture (88.96±1.222), proteins (3.71±0.16), fat (2.21±0.16), lactose (3.36±0.25), ash (0.48±0.05) and total solids (11.26±0.69). The overall mean values (%) were 14.65±7.70 for iron, 8.19±0.01 for zinc, 0.42±0.02 for copper, 0.19±0.01 for potassium, 0.14±0.02 for sodium, 0.11± 0.02 for calcium, 0.05±0.01 for phosphorus and 0.03±0.02 for sulphur. Camel milk is highly nutritious and is very suitable for human nutritional requirements. Camel milk is safe for consumption by human babies. However, be advised that camel milk is saltier than human and cow milk. Camel milk is richer in iron, zinc, copper, potassium, sodium, calcium and vitamin C than cow milk which makes it closer to human breast-milk than cow milk. The fat content of camel milk consisting of unsaturated fatty acids, volatile fatty acids, mainly linoleic acid, makes the milk more digestible and more cardiovascular friendly. Camel milk also has valuable therapeutic properties as it contains a high concentration of anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-parasitic compounds and these help fight serious diseases like hepatitis, Rota viral diarrhoea, tuberculosis, and shistosomiasis. Also, camel milk has been used therapeutically against certain types of cancer, diabetes, colitis, autism and Crohn's disease. Camel's milk can A. T. Al-Juboori be considered an option for individuals intolerant to lactose and children allergic to cow's milk.

Composition of milk from minor dairy animals and buffalo breeds: a biodiversity perspective

A comprehensive review is presented of the nutrient composition for buffalo, mare, and dromedary camel milks at the level of breed, and species-level data for yak, mithun, musk ox, donkey, Bactrian camel, llama, alpaca, reindeer and moose milks. Average values of nutrients were calculated and compared. Interspecies values (g 100 g⁻¹) were 0.7-16.1 for total fat, 1.6-10.5 for protein, 2.6-6.6 for lactose, and 67.9-90.8 for water. Reindeer and moose milks had the highest fat and protein concentrations and the lowest lactose contents. Mare and donkey milks had the lowest protein and fat contents, in addition to showing the most appropriate fatty acid profile for human nutrition. Dromedary camel milk was most similar to cow milk in proximate composition. Moose milk was the richest in minerals, having values as high as 358 mg 100 g⁻¹ for calcium, 158 mg 100 g⁻¹ for sodium and 150 mg 100 g⁻¹ for phosphorus. Interbreed differences of 4 g 100 g⁻¹ were observed in total fat in buffalo, yak, mare and dromedary camel milks. Large interbreed differences were also present in the mineral contents in mare, buffalo and dromedary camel milks. By bringing together these compositional data, we hope to usefully widen the biodiversity knowledge base, which may contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of milk from underutilized dairy breeds and species, and to improved food and nutrition security, particularly in developing countries.
