PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ester of a conjugated fatty acid and menthol and a production technique thereof. SOLUTION: Menthol ester of conjugated fatty acid (for example, conjugated linoleic acid). In one embodiment, 9cis, 11trans-conjugated linoleic acid and 10trans, conjugated fatty acid menthol ester comprising approximately equal amounts of 12cis-conjugated linoleic acid, or 9cis, 11trans-conjugated linoleic acid or 10trans, 12cis, 12cis-conjugated linoleic acid Is a conjugated fatty acid menthol ester having a relatively high content of. Conjugated fatty acid, or an alkyl ester or glycerin ester thereof is reacted with menthol in the presence of lipase to perform esterification or transesterification, and recovering the conjugated fatty acid menthol ester produced, the conjugated fatty acid menthol ester Production method.
