Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae enzymes are well recognized for high biodiversity and industrial applicability. This chapter sketches the main research trends concerning the functionalities of S. cerevisiae enzymes in food processing, ethanol industry, and production of new nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals. We review the key aspects of the overall production process for the enzyme production and the recent strategies to identify and improve its catalyst properties. Finally, we summarize the classical and latest applications of S. cerevisiae enzymes in the food industry, with specific attention given to their role in changing the nutritional, digestibility, and sensory properties in a variety of food sectors like dairy, bakery, beverages, brewing, wine, fish processing, and sweeteners. Additionally, the use of S. cerevisiae enzymes in the production of functional foods, namely protein hydrolysates/autolysates, with provided health benefits by reducing the risk of chronic diseases, as well as its use in the formulation of new cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, is explored.
