Abstract:
This study was carried out to evaluate and compare the physicochemical
properties of milk samples from three types of animals: cows, goats and
camels. The milk samples were collected from 3 animals, (3×3) (Cow, Goats
and Camels) individually from East of the Nile, )Khartoum- State) and
analyzed for physicochemical properties including: moisture, fat, protein, ash
lactose, total solids, pH, total acidity, freezing point, Boiling point, and
specific gravity.
The results showed that cow’s milk contains 88.66% moisture, fat, 3.38% ,
3.46% protein, 0.64% ash , 4.89% lactose, 11.33% total solid, pH value 6.43,
total acidity 0.16%, freezing point -0.55 C°,, boiling point 91.33C° and
specific gravity 1.034.
Goat milk had moisture, 90.40%, fat, 2.44% , 3.68%, proteins, 0.80% ash,
4.27% lactose, 9.53% total solids, and, pH value 6.47, total acidity 0.15%,
freezing point – 0.54C°, boiling point 77C° and specific gravity 1.035.
While camel milk score 90.94% moisture, 2.91% fat, 2.71% protein, 0.70%
ash, 3.18% lactose, 9.05% total solids, 6.59 pH, 0.18% total acidity, freezing
point -0.53 C°, boiling point 86.33C° and specific gravity 1.034.
