Mineral status in camel milk: A critical review

Résumé : The potential and expected therapeutic effect of a regular camel milk (CM) consumption on different diseases is a strong commercial argument usually justifying the high price of the product on market compared to cow milk (Konuspayeva et al., 2021). Making confusion between “health effect” and “medicinal virtues”, many scientists are looking for the bioactive components potentially explaining the beneficial impact of CM consumption on human health. Generally speaking, many review papers on “medicinal properties” of CM (for example, Abdelgader and Al-Haider, 2016; Hassen, 2020) emphasize the richness of this milk in some components as minerals and vitamins. Whether or not the mineral composition of CM is unique comparing to other domestic species is unknown. Yet, except for vitamin C, niacin (vitamin B3) and vitamin D, the concentrations of other vitamins are not so high or even can be in lower quantity than cow milk (Faye et al., 2019). The question of the mineral composition is obviously important to support the idea that CM is also exceptional in this matter. Thus, the objective of the present review was to provide up-to-date data on the mineral composition of CM based on available references.
