Variable has value with = or == sign

I have a script which is reading value from property file and doing replacement in source location which contains multiple files.
property file has values
Code:
abc=xyz; yux=1;version=3.0;

bcd=123;apple==mango

when my script does search and reads value from property file.

its replacing value for varible ${abc}
to 3.0

Code:
${bcd} to mango

I am using shell script, its works fine in all other scenarios.

I am reading property file as

Code:
abc
bcd

everything on right side of = as value.
