Abstract
Ricinoleic acid (12-hydroxy-cis-9-octadecaenoic acid) was an effective substrate for conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) production by washed cells of Lactobacillus plantarum AKU 1009a. The CLA produced was a mixture of cis-9,trans-11- and trans-9,trans-11-octadecadienoic acids. Addition of alpha-linolenic acid to the culture medium increased the CLA productivity of the washed cells. In the presence of lipase, castor oil, in which the main fatty acid component is ricinoleic acid, also was a substrate for CLA.
