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. Regarding the importance of camel milk and the related health benefits of the bioactive ingredients, it must be consumed raw, fresh and should be free of pathogens.
