The study was conducted to collect camel milk available nearby Anand-Kheda district and were analysed for alkaline phosphatase activity and catalase activity. The comparisons were also made with that of cow and buffalo milk samples. The average alkaline phosphatase activity in camel, cow and buffalo milk were 21.31±1.26 μg/ml, 575.00±18.42 μg/ml and 253.75±8.22 μg/ml, respectively. The average catalase activity in camel, cow and buffalo milk were 6.20±0.18 units, 0.86±0.04 units and 0.62±0.04 units, respectively. The camel milk has lower alkaline phosphatase activity but high catalase activity compared to cow and buffalo milk.
