Abstract

Abstract:

Camel whey protein (CWP), a by-product derived from camel milk during processing, is a nutritionally rich component characterized by its high protein content, excellent digestibility and efficient absorption. Recognized for its high purity,superior absorption rate, and well-balanced amino acid profile, CWP is often regarded as a"king of protein"and is acknowledged as a high-quality dietary protein supplements. Furthermore, emerging research has revealed that CWP possesses diverse bioactive properties, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antiviral, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects, alongside lowallergenicity. These bioactivities suggest considerable potential for CWP in the treatment and prevention of various diseases. This review summarizes the current evidence biological activities of CWP and its potential clinical applications in promoting health and facilitating recovery from disease, with a specific focus on proposing a novel adjuvant therapeutic strategy forsepsis. Our aim is to provide a theoretical foundation for the future clinical development and utilization of CWP.
