Abstract The nutritional components of salicarnia seed were analysed, and its seed oil was used to produce conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). It is shown from the analysis results that the salicornia seed contains high content of protein (42.59 %), being higher than that of soybean, and more complete composition of amino acids, being better than that of egg white. The seed oil contains high contents of unsaturated fatty acid (89.77 %), of which the linoleic acid accounts for 73.63%, so the seed oil is beneficial to health care. With the seed oil being used to produce CLA, the conversion rate from linoleic acid to CLA is 86.07%, and the content of CLA is about 70%, so the salicarnia seed oil can be made good edible oil and is also good raw material for producing CLA.
