“…Outside of a biotechnological context, the use of Y. lipolytica in food has mainly been on meat and dairy products due to the extreme lipolytic and proteolytic activity of the yeast. It has been suggested in multiple articles that Y. lipolytica can be used as a starter for the production of both cheese and dried fermented sausages, with very diverse applications, e.g., faster ripening, improved textural and flavour quality, and bioprotection of the products (Freitas et al, 1999;Wyder et al, 1999;van den Tempel and Jakobsen, 2000;Addis et al, 2001;Gardini et al, 2001;Lourens-Hattingh and Viljoen, 2002;Ferreira and Viljoen, 2003;Żarowska et al, 2004;Lanciotti et al, 2005;Larpin et al, 2006;Iucci et al, 2007;Patrignani et al, 2007;Mansour et al, 2008;Patrignani et al, 2011a;Patrignani et al, 2011b;Büyükta, 2013;Szoltysik et al, 2013;Zinjarde, 2014;Centeno et al, 2017). Y. lipolytica has furthermore been suggested to possess probiotic traits (Rai et al, 2019;Agarbati et al, 2021a;Agarbati et al, 2021b) and has the potential for use in the production of functional food (Rai et al, 2019;Jach and Malm, 2022).…”
