PABON, Martha L  e  CARULLA, Juan. Lipid compounds with benefits for human health associated to animal nutrition. Rev Colom Cienc Pecua [online]. 2008, vol.21, n.1, pp.136-145. ISSN 0120-0690.

Animal derived foods used for human consumption have received unfavorable perception because of their high contents of saturated fat. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA, cis9-trans11) is a compound reported to have anticarcinogenic, antidiabetogenic, antiadipogenic, and antiatherogenic properties as well as having positive effects for the immune system and bone mineralization. Its concentration in meat and milk is higher in grazing animals than in those in other feeding systems. Natural CLA-enriched milk offer a new perspective for Colombian milk in the international markets.

Palavras-chave : meat composition; milk linoleic acid; milk quality; unsaturated fat.
