Physiochemical characteristics of Camel Milk in Khartoum State

Abstract

This study was conducted at the College of Animal Production Science and Technology at Sudan University during the period from 19 to 25 march 2017 in investigate the the physiochemical properties of camel milk in Khartoum state. Six random samples were collected from three areas in Khartoum state (Omdurman, Khartoum andBahri) and were subjected to chemical analyses (moisture, ash, protein, pH, totalsolid, total soliable solid, lactose, mineral salts, viscosity and density). Then the the data were statistically analyzed by using (SPSS 16). The results showed that the highest moisture value was in Bahri area (89.15±0.93) %, followed by Khartoum area (88.97± 0.12)% and the lowest value was registered at Omdurman area (88.12 ± 0.08) . The highest protein value was in Omdurman area (3.27± 0.26) %, followed by Bahri area (3.02± 0.54) %, and the lowest value was registered at Khartoum area (2.94± 0.12) %. The highest fat value was in Omdurman area (4.00± 0.70) %, then Khartoum area (3.60± 0.14) % and the lowest value was registered at Bahriarea (3.55± 1.34) %. The highest lactose value was in Omdurman area (3.20± 1.42) %, followed by Khartoum area (2.85 ±0.27)% and the lowest value was registered at Bahri area. The highest total solids value was in Omdurman (11.95 ± 0.38) %, then Khartoum (11.55 ±0.05) % and the lowest value was registered at Bahri area (11.10± 0.55) %. The highest souliable solid not fat value was in Khartoum area (9.25± 0.27) % followed by Bahri area (8.50 ±0.55) % and the lowest value was registered at Omdurman area (8.00± 1.09) %. The highest (Mg++) value was in Omdurman area (0.09 ±0.03) %, thenBahri area (0.06± 0.02) % and the lowest value was registered at Khartoum area (0.06± 0.01) %. The highest (Ca++) value was in Bahri area (0.11± 0.04) % followed by Khartoum area (0.11± 0.01) % and the lowest value was registered at Omdurman (0.09± 0.03) % The highest (p +) value was in Omdurman area (0.13 ±0.02) %, Khartoum area (0.12 ± 0.01) % and the lowest value was registered at Bahri area (0.11± 0.01) %. The highest (Na+) value was in Omdurman area (0.07± 0.03) % followed by Bahri area (0.07± 0.01) % and the lowest value was registered at Khartoum area (0.05± 0.01) %. The highest (K+) value was in Omdurman area (0.22± 0.04) %, Khartoum area (0.16± 0.01) % and the lowest value was registered at Bahri area (0.15± 0.03) %. The highest ash value was in Khartoum area (0.798± 0.01) % followed by Bahri area (0.759 ±0.14) % and the lowest value was registered at Omdurman area (0.687± 0.04) %. The highest PH value was in Bahri area (5.68± 0.66) %, and then Khartoum area (5.34 ±0.19) % the lowest value was in Omdurman area (4.83± 0.26) %. The highest Acidity value was in Omdurman area (0.42± 0.14)% , followed by Khartoum area( 0.26 ±0.09)% and the lowest value was in Bahri area(0.22± 0.16)%. The highest density value was in Khartoum area (1.030± 0.002) %, followed by Bahri area (1.023± 0.008)% and the lowest value registered at Omdurman area(1.020 ±0.002) %. The highest viscosity value was in Omdurman area (4.19 ±4.43) %, followed by Bahri area (1.78 ±1.33) %, and the lowest value was registered at Khartoum area (1.16 ±1.01) %. The study showed no significant different btween (Omdurman, Khartoum and Bahri).
