Estimation of conjugated linoleic acid in some types of Syrian cheeses


Abstract in English

This study aimed to estimate the concentration of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in some Syrian cheeses available in local market and the daily consumption of CLA due to its health importance and nutrition properties. Five types of cheeses were used namely, white cheese (12.92% fat) produced from cow's milk, white cheese (14.64% fat) produced from ewe's milk، processed cheese (18% fat), mozzarella cheese (29.18 fat) and vita cheese (Bulgarian cheese, 15.5% fat) produced at different manufacturing units.
