Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) isomers of linoleic acid - a
compound derived from meat and dairy products. Attention was first
drawn to their potential anti-carcinogen properties in the 1980's;
since then further health benefits have been reported, and
applications in the glue and paint industries as a renewable
resource have been explored. This comprehensive book presents an
overview of the background and research into CLA and examines each
of their applications in the context of the chemistry surrounding
them and CLA-enriched oils. The biosynthesis of CLA is presented,
with a discussion on how animal husbandry could promote CLA
production. Other chapters examine the current strategies for their
synthesis using bespoke catalysts and enzymes. Readers from
academia and industry will find the layout of the book highly
accessible, with sections for each application. The editors are
both active researchers in the field, and have brought together a
wealth of expertise from across the globe, presenting a
comprehensive guide to this valuable group of compounds and their
potential applications.
