Discussion on the Macronutrient Content of Bactrian Camel Milk and the Related Indexes in the Standard of Raw Camel Milk
According to comprehensive statistics of domestic literature,the contents of fat,protein and lactose in bactrian camel milk in China were(5.58±1.21)g/100 g,(3.96±0.46)g/100 g and(4.99±0.68)g/100 g,which were 1.45 times,1.23 times,and 1.02 times of Holstein milk.The contents of total milk solids and non-fat milk solids were(15.40±1.32)g/100 g and (9.82±0.89)g/100 g,which were 21.64% and 11.46% higher than those of Holstein milk.Based on the current status of camel milk standards in China,this paper suggested that the macronutrient content requirements for raw camel milk from bactrian camels should be set as follows:fat ≥ 3.5 g/100 g,protein ≥ 3.3 g/100 g,and non fat milk solids ≥ 8.5 g/100 g.
