During the incubation, total CLA levels in the culture supernatants were determined by UV-spectrophotometry. The CLA levels significantly (P<0.05) increased with the addition of 5 and 20 mg/ml Tween 80. However, increasing Tween 80 concentration from 20 to 40 mg/ml did not appear to enhance CLA levels. Similar increase patterns were observed in the growth rate and CLA production of Lactobacillus strains during the incubation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessConjugated Linoleic AcidLactobacillusSkim MilkTween 80Article2234514552-s2.0-84961878278Q3WOS:000374312100020Q410.9775/kvfd.2015.14445
