Analysis of enzymes in lactic acid bacteria involved in linoleic acid transformation to conjugated linoleic acid
Various fatty acids with conjugated double bonds occur in nature. For example, edible fats derived from ruminant animals contain conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which mainly consists of cis-9,trans-11- and trans-10,cis-12-octadecadienoic acid (18:2). The occurrence of conjugated fatty acids has also been reported in plants and marine algae. Conjugated fatty acids have attracted much attention as a novel type of biologically beneficial functional lipid. In particular, the unique activities of CLA have been intensively studied, showing that CLA is expected to be a potential material for pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements. Today CLA, as a dietary supplement, is produced through chemical isomerization of linoleic acid, which results in the coproduction of CLA isomers.
