“…A significant advantage of SCOs is the possibility for the yeasts that produce these to be cultivated using various waste streams and with less land demand (Stellner et al, 2023). This reduces competition with traditional agriculture for vital resources such as water and fertile soil (Caporusso et al, 2021;Galán et al, 2020). Consequently, SCOs are emerging as a promising sustainable solution to address the increasing demand for edible oils and animal feeds.…”

“…This interest stems from the need to find sustainable and renewable alternatives to conventional fossil fuels (Li et al, 2008). Apart from applications in biodiesel production, microbial oils are also the focus of attention as regards potential applications in the food and feed industries, demonstrating their versatile utility (Bellou et al, 2016;Galán et al, 2020).…”

“…By February 2002, over half of the infant formula market in the USA was fortified with SCOs (Fichtali & Senanayake, 2010). Today, numerous industrial players such as DuPont, DSM, Cargill Alking Bioengineering (CABIO), Nestle and Nutricia are actively engaged in industrial-scale production of microbial oils (Xue et al, 2013;Galán et al, 2020;Caporusso et al, 2021).…”

“…In addition to their applications in the food industry, microbial lipids have found a place in the field of animal feed. Notably, Alltech, a prominent global company specialising in animal nutrition, has ventured into producing microbial (algal) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) specifically targeted for the animal feed market (Galán et al, 2020). Microbial oils have also been used as a replacement for vegetable oil in fish feed production .…”

Oleaginous yeasts, with their high lipid accumulation, offer potential as sustainable alternatives to vegetable oils. They also have a unique capability for accumulating carotenoids together with lipids. Also, they have the ability to thrive on various waste and low-cost carbon sources. This thesis examined ways of converting lignocellulosic biomass into fatty acids and carotenoids using oleaginous yeasts and potential methods for extracting these valuable compounds efficiently, with the ultimate aim of establishing a foundation for their future incorporation as essential ingredients in the food and feed industries. Comprehensive investigations into the impact of conventional and supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction methods on the composition of lipid and carotenoid extracts derived from the yeast species Rhodotorula toruloides revealed that SC-CO2 has promising capability for isolating these compounds, particularly carotenoids, unlike conventional extraction methods. A previously undetected adverse influence of including saponification in conventional methods on yield and composition of carotenoids was observed. This novel insight highlights the need for re-evaluating and refining existing lipid and carotenoid extraction methods. Further analysis of the lipid and carotenoid profiles of various R. toruloides strains yielded valuable insights, particularly concerning the hybrid strain CBS 6016T , for which predominant inheritance and expression of genetic traits from one parental strain (CBS 14), but not the other (CBS 349), was revealed. This research offers significant biotechnological potential. SC-CO2 extraction enhances eco-friendly lipid and carotenoid production in R. toruloides, while insights into hybrid strain CBS 6016T can aid genetic engineering for higher yields. Overall, this thesis opens the way toward greener, more efficient processes in the food, feed, and biotech sectors.

The increasing global population, coupled with the effects of climate change on agricultural activities has spurred a demand for sustainable food production to meet human needs. In response to this, there has been a growing interest in sustainable food production initiatives. One of such initiatives is harnessing microbial and insect lipids as valuable ingredients to address increase in demand for lipids across various sectors, including functional food, nutritional supplements, and biodiesel production. Over the last decades, there has been increasing scientific investigations exploring lipid from algae, microbes, and insects as alternatives to traditional agro‐ and marine‐based sources. This review, therefore, presents progress made in microbial and insect oils production, with emphasis on sustainability. Emerging extraction techniques, regulatory and safety requirements, and challenges that exist in the production and utilization of these new lipids are also discussed. The review shows that lipids from a wide range of oleaginous microorganisms and insect species have the potential to serve as a valuable ingredient for healthful food preparation. However, challenges such as cultural acceptance, lack of standardized regulations, high cost, and low yield associated with most emerging environmentally friendly extraction technologies continue to hinder widespread use or adoption of microbial and insect lipids on a global scale. These challenges call for innovations to reduce cost of production and improve lipids yield. So far, a substantial progress has been made in the utilization of readily available feedstocks such as industrial food wastes and sugar‐rich industrial wastewater to grow insects and microorganisms which will significantly reduce the processing costs.
