More than 200 Bifidobacterium sp. originated from human intestine were investigated for their ability to produce conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Of the Bifidobacteria tested, 1 of culture type strain and 12 isolated strains from Korean infants showed CLA producing ability. cis-9, trans-11 octadecadienoic acid presented more than 90% of the total CLA isomers produced by the Bifidobacteria. CLA content in fermented milk by Bifidobacterium sp. KHU 141 increased by 39.6 mg/l00 g, which showed the potential use for producing fermented milk containing high content of CLA. In fermented milk, little changes showed in lauric acid, myristric acid, palmitic acid, oleic acid, and linolenic acid contents, whereas the content of linoleic acid (LA) decreased and the content of CLA increased. Bifidobacterium sp. KHU 141 converted 86.0% and 84.8% of LA consumed to CLA for 24 hr and 48 hr fermentation, respectively. Prolonging incubation from 24 to 48 hours did not appear to enhance CLA formation and CLA producing ability was stable whether bottle, test tube, or fermenter was used for making fermented milk by Bifidobacterium sp. KHU 141.

Numerous physiological effects are attributed to conjugated linoleic acid(CLA). The purpose of this study is to consider these effects with respect to the cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12 CLA isomer. Both isomers are natural products. The c9,t11-CLA isomer is the principal dietary form of CLA, but the concentrations of this isomer and the t10,c12-CLA Isomer in dairy products or beef vary depending on the diet fed to cows or steers, respectively. The influence of dietary CLA isomers on the immune response was examined, body weight and weight ratio of organ to body of Balb/C mice. Mice were divided into four groups of 8 mice. Balb/C mice were fed the experimental diets supplemented with 1% CLA (c9,t11-CLA isomer : t10,c12-CLA isomer = 2:3) (Group 1), 1% CLA (c9,t11-CLA isomer t10,c12-CLA isomer : 1:1) (Group 2), 1% safflower oil (Group 3) or nothing (Control) for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks, serum, gut lumen lavage, fat, liver, spleen and thymus were taken. Measurement of total immunoglobulin were executed using sandwich ELISA. Serum levels of IgA and IgM showed that group fed with t10,c12-CLA isomer significantly were higher than group fed with c9,tl1-CLA isomer. In addition serum level of IgG showed that group fed with t10,c9-CLA isomer significantly were lower than group fed with c9,tl1-CLA isomer. However, no significantly differences were observed in the serum IgE and secretory IgA. Weight ratio of spleen to body showed no significant differences. In weight ratio of liver and thymus to body, tl0,c9-CLA isomer significantly were respectively higher than group fed with c9,t11-CLA isomer. In weight ratio of fat to body, tl0,c9-CLA isomer significantly were respectively lower than group fed with c9,tl1-CLA isomer. In conclusion, t10,c12-CLA isomer produced a situation favorable for immunopotentiative effect and body composition. But it should be protected against hepatomegaly induced lipid accumulation in liver.

To examine the in vivo immunostimulating effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in pigs, the change of peripheral blood cells and the phagocytic response of phagocytes were evaluated. Spayed male pigs, 80 kg of average body weight, fed a diet containing either 0.5% 10t-12c CLA or 0.5% CLA mixture (mostly 9c-11t CLA and 10t-12c CLA) for 4 weeks. The change of blood cell values (PCV, WBC, differential count of WBC) and the phagocytic activities of phagocytes were evaluated on week 0, 2, 4, and 5, respectively. There were no change in the PCV values regardless of CLA supplement. The number of WBC, especially neutrophils, in pigs fed a diet with CLA was significantly increased (p<0.05 to 0.01) when compared with control pigs fed a diet without CLA. The phagocytosis of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (MNC) and peripheral blood polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) were analyzed by a flow cytometry system. There was no change in the phagocytic activity of MNC and monocyte-rich cells regardless of CLA supplement. However, the phagocytic activity of PMN composed by approximately 95% neutrophils was remarkably increased (p < 0.05 to 0.01) on week 2, 4, and 5 as compared wth control pigs. These results suggested that supplement of CLA into pigs induces the increase of neutrophil number and the enhancement of neutrophil phagocytosis.

본 연구는 다기능성 지질신소재로 각광을 받고 있는 CLA를 육제품에 첨가하였을 때 제방의 산화를 억제시키는 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. 비육말기 돼지 사료에 LCA를 5% 첨가하여 생산한 동육 등심을 4$^{\circ}C$ 냉장고에에서 11일 동안 저장하면서 CLA 함량에 따른 지방산화정도(TBARS)에 대한 단순 상관도를 조사하였으며, 또한 CLA를 우욱 패티 제조에 0.05, r과 2%로 각각 첨가하여 제조한 후 4$^{\circ}C$에서 13일동안 저장하면서 pH, TBARS, 지방산 조성 및 CLA 함량을 조사하였다. TBARS의 단순상관도는 저장 11일째에 -0.804(p<0.001)으로 높은 상관관계를 나타낸 것으로 보아 CLA가 육내에 축적이 되면 저장 기간이 경과 할수록 지방산화를 지연시키는 것으로 나타났다. CLA가 육내에 축정이 도면 저장 기간이 경과 할수록 지방산화를 지연시키는 것으로 나타났다. CLA가 축정된 우육 패티를 soc장저장하면서 저장기간이 경과할수록 유의적으로 증가하였다.(P<0.05), 대조구에 비햐여 CLA 첨가구가 유의적으로 높은 pH를 보였으며,또한 CLA 첨가량이 증가할수옥 pH가 유의적으로 증가하는 현상을 보였다. (p<0.05). TBARS의 변화는 전 처리구에 저장 기간이 경과함에 EK라 유의적으로 증가하였다. (p<0.05)., 처리구간의 비교에서 대조구에 비하여 CLA 첨가구가 유의적으로 낮은 TBARS를 보였으며 (p<0.05), EH한 CLA펌가량이 증가할수옥 유의적으로 낮은 TBARS를 보여 CLA 가 항상화작용이 있음을 알수 있었다. CLA 우육 패티의 지방산 조성은 CLA 첨가량이 증가할수옥 상대적으로 다른 종류의 지방산 함량이 감소하는 겨과를 보였다. 저장기간이 경과에 따른 변화는 없었다. CLA 함량의 변화는 CLA첨가량이 증가할수록 유의적으로 증가하였으며(p<0.05) 저장기간이 경과하여도 아무런 변화가 없어 화학적으로 안정한 물질이라 사료된다. 이상의 결과에서 CLA는 지방산화를 억제시켜 산화 안정성에 효과가 있는 것으로 사료되며, CLA를 육제품 제조시 첨가할 경우 품질 보존 효과가 잇음과 동시에 고기능성 육제품 생산이 가능하리아 사료된다.

Effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on physico-chemical properties of cooked ground pork patty were investigated for 11 days at $4^{\circ}C$. Pork patties containing 0, 1, 2, and 3% CLA were cooked at $90^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The contents of crude protein and fat did not change whereas the content of ash and water decreased as the level of CLA enhanced. Lipid oxidation as measured by thiobarbituric reactive substances of patty was inhibited by addition of CLA. CLA treatment also reduced nitrite and cholesterol content and changed fatty acid composition. Consequently, given these positive effects of CLA, it may be assumed that CLA could be used as a fat additive for value-added pork patty.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) reduces fat deposition in several mammalian species. The proposed mechanisms for this effect are reduced preadipocyte proliferation and differentiation. The objective of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effects of diglyceride (DG), CLA, DG-CLA of proliferation and differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Cell viability was determined using WST-8 analysis and cell differentiation was determined by glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity. Lipid accumulation in differentiating 3T3-L1 cells was measured by Oil red O staining. The proliferation of preconfluent 3T3-L1 cells by treatments of DG, CLA, and DG-CLA was reduced in a dose-dependent manner. CLA among them was the most effective in reduction of viable cells with increasing concentrations. Treatments of the DG, CLA, and DG-CLA at the concentration of $100{\cdot}\ddot{I}g/ml$ for 48h significantly inhibited differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells (p<0.05). In addition. cytoplasmic lipid accumulation during differentiation of the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was also inhibited by treatments of the test solutions. DG-CLA was the most effective in the inhibition of differentiation and lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells. These results indicate that the DG including CLA as fatty acids is more effective for anti-obesity than DG or CLA alone and that consumption of DG-CLA as a dietary oil may give a benefit for controlling overweight in humans.

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) concentrations of commercial yoghurts and the ability of dairy starter cultures to produce CLA were investigated. The CLA contents of yoghurts were in the range of 4.1~14.8 mg/l00 g. CLA contents in yoghurts depended on the amount of milk used for raw material. Regression test showed positive correlations between CLA concentrations and selected fatty acids (stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and linolenic acid) of lipids in yoghurts. Among the 67 commercial dairy starter cultures tested, one of Lactobacillus acidophilus, one of Lactobacillus casei and three of Streptococcus thermophilus were found to be capable of converting free linloeic acid to CLA and cis-9, trans-11 octadecadienoic acid presented more than 70% of the total CLA formed. The CLA conversion rate of the screened strains ranged from 6.1% to 8.6% in whole milk for 24 hours at 37$^{\circ}C$.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary supplementation with CLA (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0%) on the proximate composition, sensory evaluation, pH, TBARS, cooking loss, WHC, shear force and objective color of chicken meat. Two hundred broiler chickens (Arbor Acre Broiler, male) were randomly assigned to five groups, fed for five weeks, and slaughtered. The proximate composition and crude protein of thigh muscle from the 1.5% and 2.0% CLA groups were significantly higher than the other groups (p<0.05), however there was no difference in moisture, crude fat, and crude ash. Based on sensory evaluation, tenderness, juiciness, and flavor were not significantly different among the treatment groups. The pH of thigh muscle from the CLA treated groups was higher than the control, and significantly increased with the increasing levels of CLA in the broiler diets (p<0.05). TBARS values were significantly lower in the CLA treated groups, and decreased with increasing CLA levels in the diet (p<0.05). Therefore, CLA may improve the shelf life of chicken meat. WHC, shear force, and meat color did not show any significant variation in this study. In conclusion, the accumulation of CLA and the production of fresh chicken meat without changes in meat quality can be achieved through supplementation with 2% CLA. Accumulation of CLA in chicken meat significantly increased with increasing CLA levels in the diet.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary supplementation with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) feeding levels (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0%) on the carcass characteristics, growth performance, serum cholesterol, and fatty acid in thigh of chicken meat. Two hundred broiler (Arbor Acre Broiler, male) were randomly assigned to five groups and were fed for five weeks and slaughtered. Thigh muscle was used for determining fatty acid composition. There was no significant difference in growth performance, such as weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion by CLA levels. Among carcass characteristics, percentage of carcass, thigh, breast, and drumstick was not influenced by the dietary CLA levels, but abdominal fat was significantly reduced with the increased CLA amount in the broilers diets (p<0.05). Higher CLA levels increased HDL-C and reduced total cholesterol and LDL-C (p<0.05). As the dietary CLA levels increased, muscular palmitic acid (saturated fatty acid) levels was increased, but the rates of oleic acid, linoleic acid, and arachidonic acid (unsaturated fatty acid) were decreased. In addition. CLA isomers were linearly increased with the increase in dietary CLA levels (p<0.05). As a conclusion, 2% of CLA feeding is possible to maximize accumulation of CLA in meat, but changes in fatty acid composition is not profitable. Therefore, 1% of CLA feeding i,j considered to be proper for accumulation of CLA and minimization of the change in fatty acid.

CLA was chemically synthesized by alkaline isomerization method using corn oil. CLA-TG was synthesized by chemical reaction using sodium methoxide. For the control, 10% of back fat among the total component was only added without the annex of CLA-TG. For the first treatment, 5% of CLA-TG among the lard component added into the press ham was replaced. For the 2nd, 3rd and 4rd treatments, 10%, 15% and 20% of CLA-TG was respectively replaced. Manufacture press ham using CLA-TG were vacuum packaged and then stored during 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days at 4℃. Samples were analyzed for shear force value, sensory evaluation, TBARS, fatty acid composition and CLA content. Shear force value of control was significantly higher than that of CLA-TG treatment groups(P<0.05). All treatments were increased by the passage of storage time. No remarkable differences were found in sensory properties among control and CLA-TG treatment groups. CLA-TG treatment groups showed significantly(P<0.05) lower TBARS value than the control. TBARS value was increased significantly during storage in all treatment. In the change of fatty acid composition, the contents of C14:0～C20:4 were decreased significantly by CLA-TG additive. Whereas the increase level of CLA-TG additive resulted in the significantly higher unsaturated fatty acid and CLA content. Summing up the a forementioned results, press ham manufacturing with CLA-TG additive was not affected in sensory evaluation. Also, it may be assumed that the high quality press ham can be manufactured with the extent of storage period and CLA accumulation.
