Camel ( and () are commonly domesticated in the arid and semi-arid regions because they are well adapted to live in harsh climatic conditions. Camel milk is widely consumed in these regions due to its high nutritional value and medicinal properties. It is rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. Moreover, it possesses therapeutic properties such as anti-microbial, anti-oxidants, anti-viral and anti-cancer. Camel milk can be processed into value added products with the aim of extending shelf life and diversifying its usage. However, there are various challenges experienced in processing of camel milk products. This study aims at reviewing published literature on camel milk products processing, processing challenges, the available solutions and applications. To achieve these aims, literature search was carried out using narrative methodology. Literature review provided information concerning processing of camel milk products, the challenges, how to overcome these processing challenges and applications. From this review of literature on camel milk products it can be concluded that it's possible to process these products with some challenges but scientific and technological solutions are available that are improving over time.

Cheese-whey is a valuable byproduct of the dairy industry, rich in various nutritional components such as minerals, lactose, and proteins. Whey proteins, often used in concentrate form, are widely applied in the food industry due to their diverse chemical, physical, and techno-functional properties. This study aimed to investigate the physicochemical composition and biochemical characteristics of camel and bovine whey after partial demineralization at a laboratory scale.

Spray drying offers high-quality camel milk powder with a good nutritional and techno-functional profile. However, the thermal stress can cause whey protein denaturation, reducing the effectiveness of the bioactive components of the milk and compromising its health benefits. Camel milk caseins are more sensitive to heat, while its whey proteins exhibit greater resistance compared to those in bovine milk.

Toxoplasma gondii is the causative agent of toxoplasmosis, an obligate intracellular parasite of warm-blooded animals; the definitive host is cats and felines. Transmission of this parasite in herbivorous intermediate hosts occurs through contaminated water and forage by the oocyst stage of the parasite, and in cats and humans, it occurs through eating contaminated meat and milk by the cystic stage, tachyzoite and oocyst of the parasite. Some people consume the milk of various animals, including cows, sheep, goats, camels and donkeys.

Bone health is a growing concern in aging populations, and bioactive peptides in dairy products offer a promising approach to preventing bone-related diseases. However, the lack of a public database for osteogenic peptides (OPs) has limited the computational detection efforts. In this work, we introduce OP-AND, a curated public database of osteogenic peptides.

Background: Milk extracellular vesicles (mEVs) are emerging as important mediators in gut pathology and cancer management. These stable nanoscale vesicles contain bioactive cargos including microRNAs, proteins, and lipids that facilitate intercellular communication and offer therapeutic opportunities.
Scope And Approach: This review examines mEVs' role in gut health and cancer therapy, synthesizing recent evidence from 2021 to 2025 across various milk sources (camel, bovine, equine, ovine, human).
