Conjugated linoleic acid esters derivatives have many physiological functions, such as antioxidation, anticancer, cholesterol-lowering, weight loss and blood glucose-lowering and lipids- lowering ect., and have broad application prospects in food, cosmetic, medicine and feed industries. The type, synthesis, separation and purification, detection, storage stability and application of conjugated linoleic acid esters derivatives were summarized so as to promote its production and application. Furthermore, it was proposed that the industralization of enzymatic synthesis of conjugated linoleic acid esters derivatives, combination of multiple of separation and purification methods and enhancing the storage stability of conjugated linoleic acid esters derivatives were the key research direction in future. |
