Abstract: Compared with cow’s milk, the milks of minor dairy animal species are know to be richer in nutrients and have a variety of bioactivities such as antibacterial, anticancer activity and antifatigue activity. However, consumers have little knowledge about the nutritional value of the milks of minor species and their production volume, market share and consumption are all low. Current studies regarding the milks of minor dairy species primarily concentrate on nutrient composition and single functional activities but often neglect the overall activity of all functional components. Systematic studies on the functional components, physiological effects and mechanisms of action of the milks of minor dairy species are lacking. In this paper, recent progress in studying the functional activities of donkey milk, buffalo milk, camel milk and goat milk is reviewed, and an outlook on future trends is given. This review hopes to provide a scientific basis for future research and development of high-quality, health dairy products from minor dairy species.

摘要： 与牛乳相比，特色乳的营养物质含量丰富，具有多种生物活性，如抗菌活性、抗肿瘤活性和缓解疲劳作用等，但消费者对特色乳的营养价值了解较少，其产量、市场占比与消费量均较低。目前特色乳研究主要集中在对营养成分的分析及单一的功能活性，忽略了特色乳中所有功效成分的整体效果，对特色乳的功能活性成分、生理作用及作用机制缺少系统研究。本文综述驴乳、水牛乳、驼乳及羊乳的功能活性及相关研究进展，并对其未来发展进行总结展望，以期为高品质、更健康的特色乳高端产品的研发提供理论参考。
