Comparison Of Physico-chemical Properties And Protein Profile Of Cow's Milk And Camel Milk

Authors : Nili Mohamed Seghir . Nili Mohamed Seghir .

Abstract

Milk is one of the main food raw materials.Most often it is obtained from cows and to lesser extent from sheep,or goats.In recent years,due to health-promoting properties, interest in camel milk also increases.The aim of the study was to compare the physicochemical properties and protein profile of cow's milk and camel milk. It was shown that camel milk was characterized by lower protein and dry matter content (p <0.01) compared to cow's milk.However, there were no significant differences in the protein fraction profile.Only the content of α-casein was four times higher (P <0.01) in camel milk.
