Abstract

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is recognised for its health benefits: anticancer, antiinflamatory and antiatherogenic effects have been reported. CLA enriched yoghurts were developed through homogenization at two levels (H1 and H2 with 40 and 80 mg CLA/100 g of yoghurt, respectively) with a view to creating functional foods. CLA modified the volatile profile in a positive way: higher levels of diacetyl and ethyl butanoate and lower values of 2‐hexanone and 2‐heptanone, ethanol and certain acids were recorded. Yoghurts presented similar microstructure, but H1 showed higher consistency and lower pseudoplastic behaviour; meanwhile H2 presented less syneresis. All products had high acceptability.
