Abstract

Camel (Camelus dromedarius) whey proteins were detected and compared to bovine whey proteins using size exclusion chromatography columns on HPLC. Camel whey proteins such as serum albumin and α-lactalbumin appear to possess molecular weights similar to the respective bovine whey proteins. Camel whey lacks β-lactoglobulin and consists of large amount of serum albumin, compared to bovine whey. Camel colostrum is rich in IgG and serum albumin, which reduce in amount already after 3 days postpartum. The main protein in camel colostrum whey is serum albumin while that of bovine colostrum whey is β-lactoglobulin.
