Abstract

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.
