Antimicrobial Peptides of Camel Milk - A Review

Camel milk is rich in bioactive peptides, lactoferrin, zinc, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids, among other health substances. This article reviews the mechanism of action of antimicrobial peptides, as well as the types and different effects of antimicrobial peptides obtained by different treatment methods in camel milk. The antibacterial peptides in camel milk can not only act alone, but also act in the form of complexes, such as camel recombinant chiral lactoferrin+lactoferrin+His-tag, which has inhibitory effects on plant bacterial pathogens; In addition, there are many common antimicrobial peptides, such as peptidoglycan recognition protein (PGRP), lactoferrin, immunoglobulin, etc., which have inhibitory effects on various bacteria. Although, many antimicrobial peptides have been found to play important roles in food and medicine, there are still more unknown aspects that need to be explored.
