Abstract

Conjugated dienoic derivatives of linoleic acid (CLA), shown to be anticarcinogenic in several animal models, are present in many natural food sources. However, few quantitative data on CLA in food are available. An improved method for quantifying CLA was developed. The method was used to produce a data base of more than 90 food items including meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, plant oils, and infant and processed foods. The principal dietary sources of CLA are animal products. In general, meat from ruminants contains considerably more CLA than meat from nonruminants, with veal having the lowest and lamb the highest (2.7 vs 5.6 mg CLA/g fat). Foods derived from nonruminant animals were far lower in CLA content except for turkey. Seafood contained low amounts of CLA, ranging from 0.3 to 0.6 mg CLA/g fat. By contrast dairy products (milk, butter, and yogurt) contained considerable amounts of CLA. Natural cheeses were also high in CLA. Among cheeses, those which were aged or ripened more than 10 months had the lowest CLA content. CLA concentrations in an assortment of processed cheeses did not vary much (avg 5.0 mg CLA/g fat). Plant oils contained far less CLA, ranging from 0.1 mg CLA/g g fat (coconut oil) to 0.7 mg CLA/g fat (safflower oil). Processed, canned, and infant foods were comparable in CLA content to similar unprocessed foods. Values for foods that contained beef, lamb, and veal were generally high in CLA. However the c-9,t-11 CLA isomer, believed to be the biologically active form, tended to be lower in cooked meats. In animal and dairy products the c-9,t-11 CLA isomer accounted for 75 and 90%, respectively, of the total CLA; in plant oils less than 50% of the total CLA was the c-9,t-11 CLA isomer. The results show that considerable differences occur in the CLA content of common foods and indicate the possibility of large variations in dietary intakes of CLA.

  • Conjugated linoleic acid (cLA) is present in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).

    “The presence of cLA in EVOO [39], [40] was determined by selective derivatization with 4-phenyl-1,2,4- triazoline-3,5-dione (PTAD) and product analysis by HPLC-MS/MS (Figure S2) (30).”
  • Plant lipids have cLA levels of up to ∼1.0 mg cLA/g fat, and reported levels of cLA in olive oils are up to 0.2 mg/g fat, predominantly cis9-, trans11- and trans10-, cis12- isomers.

    “Plant lipids have cLA levels of up to ∼1.0 mg cLA/g fat [39], with reported levels of cLA in olive oils of up to 0.2 mg/g fat [39], predominantly the cis9-, trans11- and trans10-, cis12- isomers [39].”
  • cLA consists of positional isomers of linoleic acid having conjugated dienes in the cis and trans configurations.

    “cLA consists of positional isomers of linoleic acid having conjugated dienes in the cis and trans configurations [39], [51], [52].”
  • Both mammalian and enterosalivary microbiome enzymes can synthesize conjugated diene fatty acids in humans both de novo and by desaturation of monoenoic fatty acid substrates.

    “In addition, both mammalian and enterosalivary microbiome enzymes can synthesize conjugated diene fatty acids in humans both de novo and by desaturation of monoenoic fatty acid substrates [39], [40].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
