Abstract
For many years, milk from several species has been used to separate out different useful components. Whatever its source, milk is regarded as a complete food because it contains all the necessary nutrients that the human body needs. Bioactive peptides found in proteins and their fractions are rich sources of potential health benefits for humans, including immunological modulation, antioxidant activity, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitory activity, antineoplastic, antimicrobial, and more. Bioactive peptides in milk can exist in their native state or be liberated by enzymatic action from their parent proteins. Because of its unique composition—particularly its high vitamin C and low cholesterol content—camel milk has several medicinal benefits. It has larger concentrations of calcium, protective proteins, and some oligo-elements, including iron, copper, and zinc. It also includes a higher percentage of total salts. Because of its exceptional and distinctive composition, camel milk is a great nourishment for those who live in dry and semiarid regions with few plant species, such as fruits and vegetables. This scientific understanding of camel milk's gross composition may persuade customers to include this food in their diets and may also prompt dairy industry operators to think about transforming camel milk and using it as a component in meals.
