Conjugated Linoleic Acid: a Potent Anticarcinogen Found in Milk Fat
نویسنده
چکیده
As an important source of nutrients, milk provides high quality protein, energy, calcium, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Recent research has focused on altering the fat and protein content of milk and other dairy products in order to improve the nutrient content of these foods so that they more aptly reflect current dietary recommendations and trends. Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), a component of milk fat, brings an exciting twist to the concept of redesigning foods as milk high in CLA may possess even greater human health benefits: anticarcinogenic capabilities.

Effect of Feeding Canola or Sunflower Seeds on Conjugated Linoleic Acid Enrichment in Cow’s Milk Fat
Two experiments studied the effects of canola or sunflower seed supplementation on conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) concentration in milk fat of lactating cows. In each experiment, only eight cows in early lactation were available to assign to one of two treatments in a completely randomized design and were fed individually for 12 wk. Experiment 1 compared similar diets with or without the additi...
متن کاملFortification of fluid skim milk with conjugated linoleic acid ( CLA
Nutraceutical products make up the fastest growing segment of the U.S. food industry. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) occurs naturally in milk at low levels and is an anticarcinogen. Research indicates that concentrations of 1 to 3 g CLA/day would provide protective anticarcinogenic benefits. Increased levels of CLA in fluid milk would produce a nutraceutical dairy beverage. The objectives of th...
متن کاملMajor advances in nutrition: impact on milk composition.
A number of major scientific advances have been realized in the last 25 yr in determining the opportunities and limitations of altering milk composition through nutritional manipulation. Because of the greater sensitivity of milk fat to dietary manipulation than either protein or lactose, nutritional control of milk fat content and fatty acid composition received a great deal of attention. New ...
متن کاملEndogenous synthesis and enhancement of conjugated linoleic acid in pasture-fed dairy cows
The primary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomer in milkfat, cis-9, trans-11 CLA, is a proven anticarcinogen in rodents and can be derived directly from ruminal biohydrogenation of linoleic acid. The major fatty acid in pasture, however, is α–linolenic acid; the biohydrogenation of which does not produce cis-9, trans-11 CLA as an intermediate. Therefore, in grazing cows, cis-9, trans-11 CLA mu...
