The objective of this study was to assess protein degradation and biological activities of the water-soluble extract (WSE) and the 10 kDa permeable and nonpermeable fractions of in vitro digesta of low-fat Akawi cheese made from blends (100:0, 85:15, or 70:30) of bovine milk and camel milk and ripened for 28 d. Biological activities, such as antioxidant activities, amylase and glucosidase inhibition, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition, and antiproliferative of the WSE, and the 10 kDa permeable and nonpermeable fraction of the digesta were assessed. To identify the nature of the bioaccessible compounds, untargeted metabolomic analysis was carried out by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

This disorder affects approximately 1 in 8,000 people worldwide. Significant morbidity is associated with this condition in affected individuals, and anaemia can be a consequence of repeated haemorrhages from telangiectasia in the gut and nose.
