Disclosed is a conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)-comprising soybean composition, and a production method thereof. More particularly, in the disclosed soybean composition, the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is obtained by converting linoleic acid into the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) by addition of microorganisms to soybean pieces. When the composition is used as a food, the usability of the soybean is maximized, thereby increasing the productivity of the soybean within the country. Also, the composition has the physiological activity of the microorganisms, and the conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which are both beneficial to the human body, and thus shows a synergistic effect such as cholesterol reduction, hyperlipidemia improvement, and arteriosclerosis relief. Thus, it may be used as a functional food or a medicine. |
