The natural creaming of raw and heated camel milk was studied. Compared with cow (Bos taurus) milk, camel (Camelus dromedarius) milk showed very slow creaming rate in both raw and heated milk at refrigerator and room temperatures. Fat globule size distribution was similar in cow and camel milks. The creaming ability was also studied in various combinations of skim milks and creams of raw camel ...

Few published studies have reported the use of crude camel milk in the treatment of stomach infections, tuberculosis and cancer. Yet, little research was conducted on the effect of camel milk on the apoptosis and oxidative stress associated with human cancer. The present study investigated the effect and the underlying mechanisms of camel milk on the proliferation of human cancer cells using an...

The shape of the beam profile of a discharge excited XeCl excimer laser using a spiker-sustainer electrical circuit has been varied from a ‘bell’-, through a ‘top-hat’-, to a ‘camel-back’-profile by varying the delay between the spiker pulse and the maincurrent with the circuit operating in the charge-mode. Fine-tuning of the beam profile can be done by varying the charging voltage of the main ...

The camel uses various adaptive mechanisms for life in the desert. In the dry land ecosystem camel rearing is regarded as a fairly constant resource for sustenance. The camel has a great importance in the local, social culture of the societies inhabiting the dry lands. Marketing of camels is an important trade in India where it is also used as a draft animal. Consequently, Khanna and Rai sugges...

Camel meat is very popular and readily available in certain places of the world. Camel meat is not well known in Ethiopia except in the pastoralist community of Afar, Somali and Negele Borena. The dromedary camel is a good source of meat especially in areas where the climate adversely affects the performance of other meat animals. From the quality point of view, camel carcasses are slender and ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effects of camel milk on hepatic pathogenicity induced by experimental infection with Escherichia (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in Wistar rats. The rats were divided into six groups: The control and camel milk groups received water and camel milk, respectively; two groups received camel milk for 2 weeks prior to in...

Although it may sound unpleasant, camel urine has been consumed extensively for years in the Middle East as it is believed to be able to treat a wide range of diseases such as fever, cold, or even cancer. People usually take it by mixing small drops with camel milk or take it directly. The project aims to study the effects of camel urine in inhibiting the growth potential and metastatic ability...

The dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius, one-humped camel) is an important livestock species adapted to hot and arid environments. It is most abundant in the arid lowlands of Africa, the Middle East and Western Asia. The economic importance of this multipurpose animal is evident from the numerous benefits provided by camel products (meat, milk, wool). Moreover, the camel serves for riding, as ...

Camel is known as “Ship of the Desert”. Camel milk is different from cow milk in its chemical composition but it contains all essential nutrients as cow milk. Indian camels yield 3.5 kg to 10 kg of milk per day. The taste of camel milk depends upon availability of plants for grazing. The water content of camel milk fluctuates from 84 percent to 90 percent. Camel keepers utilize milk either raw,...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection represents a world health problem and no protective vaccine or effective drug currently exists. For economic reasons, many patients use traditional medicines to control the infection. In Egypt, camel milk is one of the traditional medicines widely consumed by patients infected with HCV. The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of camel milk in the treat...
