  1. ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF YEAST What is yeast? Structure of yeast Uses of theyeast

  2. What is Yeast? • Yeasts are eukaryotic micro-organisms classified in the kingdom Fungi, with 1,500 species currently described estimated to be only 1% of all fungal species.

  3. What is yeast?

  4. STRACTURE OF YEAST

  5. USES OF YEAST • Yeast include some of the most widely use model organisms for genetics and cell biology.

  6. USES OF YEAST- Alcoholicbeverages • Alcoholic beverages are defined as beverages that contain ethanol (C2H5OH).

  7. USES OF YEAST-Beer • Brewing yeasts may be classed as "top cropping" (or "top fermenting") and "bottom cropping" (or "bottom-fermenting").

  8. USES OF YEAST-Wine • Yeast is used in winemaking, where it converts the sugars present in grape juice (must) into ethanol.

  9. USES OF YEAST-Baking • Yeast, most commonly S. cerevisiae, is used in baking as a leavening agent, where it converts the fermentable sugars present in dough into the gas carbon dioxide.

  10. USES OF YEAST- Bioremediation • Some yeasts can find potential application in the field of bioremediation.

  11. USES OF YEAST- Industrial ethanol production(Bioethanol) • The ability of yeast to convert sugar into ethanol has been harnessed by the biotechnology industry to produce ethanol fuel.

  12. USES OF YEAST- Nonalcoholicbeverages • Root beer and other sweet carbonated beverages can be produced using the same methods as beer, except the fermentation is stopped sooner, producing carbon dioxide, but only trace amounts of alcohol, and a significant amount of sugar is left in the drink.

  13. USES OF YEAST- Nutritionalsupplements • Yeast is used in nutritional supplements popular with vegans and the health conscious, where it is often referred to as "nutritional yeast".

  14. USES OF YEAST-PROBIOTIC • Some probiotic supplements use the yeast S. boulardii to maintain and restore the natural flora in the gastrointestinal tract.

  15. USES OF YEAST- Aquariumhobby • Yeast is often used by aquarium hobbyists to generate carbon dioxide (CO2) to nourish plants in planted aquariums.
