Identification and analysis of conjugated linoleic acid isomers (CLA)

Eur J Med Res. 2003 Aug 20;8(8):370-2.

Abstract

CLA are predominantly found in milk, milk products, meat and meat products of ruminants. The distribution of CLA isomers in cheese and/or meat shows one major isomer C18:2 c9t11 with nearly 84% of total CLA. It is estimated that the daily intake of CLA using the German Nutrition Study is 0.35 g/d for women and 0.43 g/d for men.
