Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of synthetic conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplementation on the quality of yoghurt. Yoghurt was prepared by adding CLA to create yoghurt with 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% w/w of the recommended dietary allowance for CLA. CLA inclusion had no effect on the viability of the yoghurt lactic acid bacteria. Physical properties such as viscosity and pH increased with increased CLA levels. CLA inclusion had a significant effect on the fatty acid composition of the yoghurt. Yoghurts from all four treatments were found acceptable by a consumer panel.
