ABSTRACT
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) refers to a group of stereo and positional isomers of octadecadienoate (18:2) (Figure 5.1).
This group of polyunsaturated fatty acids is formed by partial biohydrogenation in the rumen of cattle and lamb, and is therefore found in the meat and milk products from these ruminant sources (Table 5.1).
