Application of Rh/MWCNT catalysts in the preparation of conjugated linoleic acid from linoleic acid

Abstract

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a general term for a group of positions and geometric isomers containing conjugated double bonds in linoleic acid. The most biologically active isomers in CLA are c9,t11-CLA and t10,c12-CLA (Michael et al., 2001). Natural CLA is mainly derived from the biohydrogenation of rumen bacteria and found in rumen foods such as beef, milk, and dairy products (Shen et al., 2018). CLA is one of the essential fatty acids of the human body, but the human body cannot synthesize it, so it must be obtained from food. According to the research, CLA has the important effects of inhibiting obesity (Park & Pariza, 2007), inhibiting cardiovascular diseases, anticancer, and growth-promoting effects
