CONJUGATED FATTY ACIDS AND RELATED COMPOUNDS, AND METHOD FORTHEIR ENZYMATIC PREPARATION

It has been demonstrated that conjugated linoleic acid isomers with the firs t double bond in position 9 (cis) or 10 (trans), added exogenously, can be desaturated in position 6 by the cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis. The metabolites, 6-cis, 9-cis, 11-trans-octadecatrienoic and 6-cis, 10-trans, 1...

Summary:It has been demonstrated that conjugated linoleic acid isomers with the firs t double bond in position 9 (cis) or 10 (trans), added exogenously, can be desaturated in position 6 by the cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis. The metabolites, 6-cis, 9-cis, 11-trans-octadecatrienoic and 6-cis, 10-trans, 12 - cis-octadecatrienoic acids, which have not previously been characterized, we re isolated by a combination of chromatographic techniques and the structures were confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in the form of picolinyl ester and dimethyloxazoline derivatives.
