Abstract

Camel milk has numerous minor components which have special bioactive properties. These are present at significant concentrations and are beneficial for human diet and health e.g. lactoferrin, serum albumin, lysozyme, mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins B, C and E, manganese, iron, calcium and potassium, different types of immunoglobulins, as well as the hormone insulin and IGF-1.
