It has been demonstrated that supplementing the diet with CLA leads to positive health effects in a large variety of in vivo models; however, it is not found in food in sufficient amounts. Thus, some strategies have been proposed to increase the availability of CLA in the organism through biotechnological processes. On of such strategies has been the use in food of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) that produce CLA (CLA-LAB). Another one has been the intake of LAB that, due to their particular characteristics, produce CLA once they have been implanted in the gut. A review is presented of research carried out on the endogenous production of CLA in the gut of monogastric organisms, and on the exogenous production in fermented diary foods. Also, the potential of CLA to promote beneficial effects on human health is presented.
