The application discloses a preparation method of conjugated
methyl linoleate and a feed composition containing the conjugated
methyl linoleate. The method uses a byproduct of
plant oil refining, i.e. deodorized distillate, as a source of
linoleic acid, adds an alkali catalyst and a
phase transfer catalyst to catalyze the conjugation of
methyl linoleate to prepare the conjugated methyl linoleate, and a feed composition containing the prepared conjugated methyl linoleate as an
active ingredient. In particular, a small amount of
phase transfer catalyst can greatly improve the rate and conversion rate of the conjugation reaction, reduce the amount of alkali, and make the conjugation reaction condition mild, which can be carried out under normal pressure. The reaction is unique in that a cheap byproduct in the
plant oil refining process is used to prepare the conjugated methyl linoleate, and a
phase transfer catalyst is used in the conjugation process, the amount of alkali is reduced, the conjugation can be carried out under normal pressure, the complicated preparation process is simplified, and the
high input cost problem of alkali and oil is overcome.
