MICROORGANISM LACTOBACILLUS FERMENTUM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACID(CLA) USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: A microorganism Lactobacillus fermentum and a method for producing conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) using the same microorganism are provided, which microorganism can be used in food because the microorganism is isolated from human, and which conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) has anticancer activity, antioxidative activity, cholesterol reduction, immunity improvement, fat reduction and muscle improvement. CONSTITUTION: The microorganism Lactobacillus fermentum(KACC 91008) is isolated from the feces of human and produces conjugated linoleic acid(CLA), The method for producing conjugated linoleic acid(CLA) comprises the steps of: culturing Lactobacillus fermentum in a medium for 24 hours; adding linoleic acid and tween 80 into the medium; and culturing the medium for 24 hours, thereby the medium contains 0.30 to 0.39 mg of CLA.
