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.
