Production of Conjugated Linoleic and Conjugated α-Linolenic Acid in a Reconstituted Skim Milk-Based Medium by Bifidobacterial Strains Isolated from Human Breast Milk

Table 4

CLA and CLNA production ( g mL−1) and conversion (%) of LA and LNA by B. breve strains when growing in skim milk. Conversion calculated as CLA/(LA + CLA) × 100 and CLNA/(LNA + CLNA) × 100, respectively, based on the results of GC.
