: Yeasts, especially Saccharomyces cerevisiae and related species, have been used by humanssince ancient times. In past centuries, the increased demand in yeast-related products has convertedyeast biomass into a valuable product, and has forced the generation and optimisation of industrial yeastbiomass production processes, which currently generate vast quantities of yeasts yearly.Scope and approach: In this article, we review key aspects for the yield first produced empirically, but byalso using recent yeast physiology knowledge. We summarise the classical and latest yeasts biomassapplications in the food industry, which range from the yeast extract used as an additive in manycommercially prepared foods, to the nutritional yeast supplement used to complement diets. Finally, wepresent advanced molecular studies that have revealed the strong impact of the cellular stress sufferedduring the industrial production process on yeast biomass yield and fermentative efficiency.Key findings and conclusions: The large number of applications enhances the importance and demand ofthis industrial product and the relevance of its production in a sustainable way. The new findings atmolecular level will permit new designs and strategies to enhance quality and quantity of commercialproducts.
