Cogent Food & Agriculture is pleased to invite you to submit your research to the upcoming Article Collection “Camel Milk, Meat, and Urine Products: Nutraceutical and Functional Properties” organized by the Guest Advisor, Professor Abdalbasit A. Mariod.

Camel products are a vital source of daily life for many people around the world. They have long since been used for a variety of functions including as a means of daily sustenance and therapy.

Camel milk is the basic daily food for many Bedouins in many areas, and aside from being a healthy, complete, and balanced food, it also contains many therapeutic benefits. It has been noted that people who drink camel milk since their childhood are healthier and younger than others and are characterized by a flowing vitality. The most important advantages of camel milk over other milks is its possession of compounds of a protein nature such as lysozymes, anticoagulants, antitoxins, antibacterials, inhibitory bodies, etc., and these antibiotics possess antibacterial properties, and during a specific period of time these bodies impede the proliferation of microorganisms in camel milk. Camel milk can also be used to treat dropsy, jaundice, spleen problems, tuberculosis, asthma, anemia, and hemorrhoids. It has also proven to be useful in treating tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases. As a result, special clinics have been established in which camel milk is used for such treatments.

Camel meat has distinctive characteristics, as it is a good source of protein. It contains low levels of muscle fat and a relatively high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which makes it an ideal meat for people with health problems, such as diabetes and high cholesterol, as well as for health-conscious consumers.

Camel urine, especially virgin camel urine, was used as a disinfectant for washing wounds and ulcers. It is also used for hair growth, strengthening and reproduction, and preventing hair loss, as well as for treating dandruff and dandruff. It is said that camel blood can heal people from some malignant diseases.
