This study investigated the effect of season (wet and dry) on milk composition of the dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius). Milk samples representing the wet and dry seasons were analyzed for total solids (TS), fat (F), solids-non-fat (SNF), ash, crude protein (CP), nitrogen soluble at pH 4.6 (SN), mineral content (MC) and casein fraction (CnF). Camel milk had higher (P

The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of somatic cell counts (SCC), differential SCC (macrophage (MAC), lymphocyte (LYM) and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN)), number and stage lactation on milk composition in camel and cow milk. Camel milk appeared to contain significantly (P

Cheese from camel milk was never produced by traditional way. However, Hansen (Denmark) delivered recently new coagulant agent named “Chy-Max M” containing transgenic camel chymosine. In the present study, impact of calcium, lactation stage and curd acidification were investigated. Camel milk was shared into 6 samples (100g each) submitted to 3 types of treatment (1. calcium chloride solution (...

Camel (Camelus dromidarius) is an important source of meat and milk and an iconic animal of the Saudi Arabian heritage. The accumulative evidence indicated the spread of paratuberculosis infection in the camel herds. Despite the explicit studies on the details of the disease in camels and methods of its diagnosis, paratuberculosis infection in camels suffers from wide gap of knowledge of the di...

conclusions camel milk increased insulin level in patients with t2dm and might contribute to glycemic control in t2dm. results mean of insulin concentration was significantly increased from 64.59 to 84.03 pmol/l in the camel milk group during the study (p < 0.05). no significant differences were shown in fasting blood sugar, lipid profile, and blood pressure between the two groups at the end of...

Diabetes elicits an increase in the oxidative stress-mediated endothelial dysfunction. Fifty male rats were divided into two main groups, first group served as control group was considered as normal non-diabetic (n=10). Second group (n=40): rats were subcutaneously injected with alloxan (150 mg/kg. body weight) for induction of diabetes. Then the diabetic rats were divided into four equal subgr...

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 ...

Milk composition is an imperative aspect which influences the quality of dairy products. The objective of study was to compare the chemical composition, nitrogen fractions and amino acids profile of milk from buffalo, cow, sheep, goat, and camel. Sheep milk was found to be highest in fat (6.82%±0.04%), solid-not-fat (11.24%±0.02%), total solids (18.05%±0.05%), protein (5.15%±0.06%) and casein (...

camel milk has an importance in the treatment of diabetes. it has been shown that the patients who drink camel milk daily, their need to insulin decrease. therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of camel milk in comparison with insulin treatment in experimentally-induced diabetes. this study was carried out on forty male new zealand rabbits, divided into four groups with ten rabbi...

ABSTRACT: Camel milk contains sufficient levels of insulin and does not form the coagulum in the stomach preventing degradation of insulin and act as an effective vehicle to take the milk insulin unchanged to the intestine. In present study direct spectroscopy and standard addition method, well-known methods in analytical chemistry were used for determining insulin concentration in camel milk. ...
