[Protein composition of camel's milk]
Abstract:
A study was made of camel's milk proteins, of their fraction and amino acid composition. It was shown that the content of the total protein in camel's milk does not depend on the season and constitutes 4.26 g/100 g product on the average. Examination of the fraction composition of camel's milk proteins revealed 74.1% of casein and 25.9% of serum proteins (of the total content). Of the total amount of serum proteins, albumins constitute 18.8%, globulins, 13% and proteoso-peptones, 17.8%. A study was also made of the amino acid content of camel's milk to reveal all the indispensable amino acids in the amount of 36.1%. Tryptophan is a limiting amino acid.
