Date palm (DP), camelsĄŻ milk and goatsĄŻ milk have been reported to be used for the prevention and treatment of various diseases in Arab countries. This study was designed to mix date palm with camelsĄŻ milk and goatsĄŻ. Eight formulations of both camelsĄŻ milk and goatsĄŻ were made from different percentages of date palm. These formulations were added at ratios of 0 (control), 10%, 20% and 30% (w/v) to camelsĄŻ milk and goatsĄŻ and the effect of this date palm on the composition and texture properties of the fermented obtained products were followed. It has been found that pH, protein, fat decreased and total solid, carbohydrate, ash, viscosity, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants increased with the increase of the added percentage of date palm compared to control. Microbial counts of the fermented camelsĄŻ milk (FCM) and goatsĄŻ milk (FGM) increased significantly (P < 0.05) with the addition of different formulations and during storage. Also, fermented camelsĄŻ milk (FCM) and fermented goatsĄŻ milk (FGM) fortified with different ratios date palm (DP) concentration resulted in good properties and higher acceptable sensory values (at a rate of 10% - 20%) in fresh and till the end of storage periods. The addition of the date palm to all treatments improved the composition, viscosity, microbiological quality of fermented camelsĄŻ and goatsĄŻ milk with nutritional functional values and acceptable sensory attributes. %K Fermented Camel Milk %K Fermented Goat Milk %K Date Palm %K Synbiotic-Vitamins %K Antioxidants %K Organoleptic Properties %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=109009
