Method of producing conjugated fatty acids

摘要

A method for producing a cis-9, trans-11 fatty acid from a fatty acid containing double bonds in the cis-configuration at positions 9 and 12, includes the step of combining a Lactobacillus microorganism with free fatty acids in a fermentation process. The conjugated fatty acid products can include, for example, cis-9, trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
