Yeasts are widely spread in nature. Fermentation of sugars by yeast is the oldest and largest application of this technology. Many types of yeasts are used for making many foods: baker’s yeast in bread production, brewer’s yeast in beer fermentation,and yeast in wine. This work describes the prevalence of yeasts in food products.
