Patent number: 7115759Abstract: The present invention relates to the manufacture of conjugated linoleic acid, and in particular, to dietary supplements, feeds and food products containing conjugated linoleic acid. Accordingly, processes for producing conjugated linoleic acid of high purity and acid value are disclosed.

Patent number: 7078051Abstract: A novel method of delivering conjugated linoleic acid to an animal involves compounding feed or food for human consumption with a biologically active amount of conjugated linoleic acid alkyl ester (CLA-ester). The CLA-ester comprises a mixture of c9,t11-octadecanoic acid and t10,c12-octadecanoic acid, with contaminating isomers being present at an aggregate percentage of less than 5. Manufactured from sunflower or safflower oil, the CLA-esters contain less than 0.5 percent phosphatidyl residue, so that a food grade product is made without special purification and refining steps.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 1998Date of Patent: July 18, 2006Assignee: Natural AsaInventors: Asgeir Saebo, Carl Skarie
