Review Description

Purpose of Review: The purpose of this review is to describe the process of conversion of bioresources into lipids by yeasts and their applications. Current challenges at industrial scale and scope for future developments have been discussed. Recent Findings: Sustainable routes for industrial yeast lipid production using innovative techniques for pretreatment to downstream processing are the targets for research. The latest blossoming research areas are genetic modification strategies to improve lipid production and recovery along with the production of non-native lipid–derived products. Summary: Yeast lipid has emerged as a bio-similar to vegetable oils that can be used for the production of fuel, chemicals, polymers, and nutraceuticals. The main stages with high-cost contribution in bioconversion of biomass to lipid are identified. For an economically feasible product, the lipid yields must be improved and a combination of high-value and low-value products should be produced.
