Candida Utilis
Candida utilis is a type of yeast commonly found in various environments, including soil and decaying plant matter. It is known for its ability to ferment sugars and produce alcohol, making it useful in the food and beverage industry. This yeast is often used in the production of certain types of bread and as a nutritional supplement due to its high protein content.
In addition to its culinary applications, Candida utilis is also studied for its potential in biotechnology. Researchers explore its use in bioconversion processes, where it can help convert waste materials into valuable products, such as biofuels and animal feed.
