Donkey milk has attracted attention due to its distinctive nutritional composition and potential health advantages, particularly because of its whey protein content, which includes lysozyme, -lactalbumin, lactoferrin, and -lactoglobulin and vitamin C, among other components. These elements contribute to immunoregulatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, positioning donkey milk as a possible therapeutic option. In addition, due to the low levels of caseins, the casein-to-whey protein ratio, and the -lactoglobulin content in donkey milk, it presents an optimal alternative for infant formula for individuals with cow's milk allergies. Moreover, research into donkey milk's potential for cancer prevention, diabetes management, and as a treatment for various diseases is ongoing, thanks to its bioactive peptides and components. Nevertheless, challenges such as its low production yield and the not fully understood mechanisms behind its potential therapeutic role necessitate more thorough investigation. This review consolidates the existing knowledge on the therapeutic possibilities of donkey milk, emphasizing its importance for human health and the need for more detailed studies to confirm its health benefits.
驴奶因其独特的营养成分和潜在的健康益处而受到关注，特别是因其乳清蛋白含量，其中包括溶菌酶、α-乳白蛋白、乳铁蛋白和β-乳球蛋白以及维生素C等成分。这些元素具有免疫调节、抗菌、抗氧化和抗炎特性，使驴奶成为一种可能的治疗选择。此外，由于驴奶中酪蛋白含量低、酪蛋白与乳清蛋白的比例以及β-乳球蛋白含量，它为牛奶过敏个体的婴儿配方奶粉提供了最佳替代品。此外，由于驴奶的生物活性肽和成分，对其预防癌症、管理糖尿病以及治疗各种疾病的潜力的研究正在进行中。然而，诸如产量低以及其潜在治疗作用背后的机制尚未完全了解等挑战需要更深入的研究。本综述整合了关于驴奶治疗可能性的现有知识，强调其对人类健康的重要性以及进行更详细研究以证实其健康益处的必要性。
