Technological Properties of Camel Milk in Different Lactation Periods
This article provides a comparative description of the milk of camels bred in the Republic of Tyva, according to the main physicochemical and organoleptic indicators. The composition of milk is known to be not constant, and it changes due to various factors, such as breed of cattle, lactation period, feeding and keeping conditions, zonality, season of the year and many others. The research shows that according to the qualitative characteristics the camel milk of the central forest-steppe zone has an advantage over the camel milk of the southern dry-steppe zone in terms of the mass fraction of fat, protein and SOMO. This advantage was statistically proved.
