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 alpha -lactalbumin appear to possess molecular weights similar to the respective bovine whey proteins. Camel whey lacks beta -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 beta -lactoglobulin. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
