Abstract

This chapter highlights the potential health benefits of camel milk including antioxidant, anti-cancer activity, antihypertensive properties, antidiabetic activity, antimicrobial activity, hypoallergenicity activity, and anti-Crohn's disease. In addition to the most recent identified functional properties of camel milk. The bioactivity of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), D and L amino acid, as well as oligosaccharide in camel milk will be also discussed. The proposed mechanisms behind these properties and potential health benefits are explained. This chapter also describes composition and nutritive value of camel milk and their association to functional properties. The current available information in the literature on camel milk is covered too.
