Description
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) describes the positional and geometric isomers of C18:2fatty acids (FA) with a conjugated double bond.cis-9,trans-11 CLA are considered as the major isomers of CLA, based onin vitroexperiments and animal studies in milk. The major source of CLA in human diet is the ruminant fat.Linoleic acid, conjugated methyl ester (CLA) has been used as a standard for the determination of isomers of CLA in milk samples by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. It has also been used in the production ofsn-1,3 diacyl glycerol
