Yarrowia lipolytica is a non-conventional non-pathogenic, generally regarded as safe yeast. It has been isolated from a wide variety of places, from foodstuffs like beer, cheese and sausages to beetle guts and human mouths. It is strictly aerobic and Crabtree-negative. Y. lipolytica harbours various biochemical and physiological traits that make it relevant for biotechnological and food-related applications. Until recently, the application and effect of Y. lipolytica on lipid-containing foodstuff, that is, meat and dairy, have been researched and discussed meticulously. The yeasts’ potential as a synthesiser of several high-value food ingredients, such as organic acids, aromas, and emulsifiers from a range of diverse substrates, from ethanol to olive oil waste, is of interest in a biorefinery context. Interestingly the use of Y. lipolytica as a starter culture in foodstuffs beyond meat and dairy is minimal, despite its ability to synthesise interesting aromas and organic acids that could increase the organoleptic quality of fermented beverages. Besides the indulgence factor, Y. lipolytica synthesises a wide range of functional and bioactive compounds that can act as active ingredients in functional beverages, adding to its potential in producing novel beverages.
1 Introduction
Yarrowia lipolytica is a dimorphic, non-conventional, strictly aerobic yeast. The yeast was already isolated and identified in 1928 and has been known under several different names until 1972 when David Yarrow reclassified it into its current genus. In acknowledgement of David Yarrow’s work, it was later renamed Yarrowia. The name of the species, lipolytica, comes from the yeast’s ability to hydrolyse lipids. It has since been studied extensively (Yarrow, 1972; Barth and Gaillardin, 1997; Coelho et al., 2010; Nicaud, 2012; Darvishi Harzevili, 2014; Groenewald et al., 2014; Sutherland et al., 2014; Zinjarde, 2014; Madzak, 2018; Bankar et al., 2020; Fickers et al., 2020; Madzak, 2021). Y. lipolytica has been used as a model organism for non-conventional yeast due to its considerable physiological differences from other model yeasts, e.g., Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Nicaud, 2012; Sutherland et al., 2014).
1.1 Y. lipolyticas occurrence, in nature and in food
Y. lipolytica is most often found in substrates containing hydrophobic carbon sources, e.g., oil-polluted soil and marine environments and in as exotic a place as termite gut. The yeast survives such environments due to efficient degradation pathways of diverse substrates (Zinjarde and Pant, 2000; Fickers et al., 2005; Fukuda, 2013; Shukla et al., 2018; Gálvez-López et al., 2019; Madzak, 2021). Y. lipolytica utilise some sugars (fructose, glucose and lactose), lipids, proteins, alcohols, sugar alcohols and some organic acids (see Figure 1) (Mansour et al., 2008; Beopoulos et al., 2010; Arslan et al., 2016; Spagnuolo et al., 2018; Madzak, 2021). It tolerates extremely diverse environments; low temperatures, hypersaline conditions, and acidic and alkaline pH. In a food context, this means that Y. lipolytica has mostly been isolated from meat and dairy products, such as cheeses, yoghurt, kefir, sausages and poultry (Barth and Gaillardin, 1997; Nicaud, 2012; Zinjarde, 2014; Madzak, 2018; Zieniuk and Fabiszewska, 2018). In this context, Y. lipolytica has been regarded both as a spoilage and a desired organism (Zinjarde, 2014). However, it has also been isolated from traditional Belgian sour beer, where it has been suggested to play a specific role in sour beer production (Spitaels et al., 2014; Spitaels et al., 2015). To our knowledge, this finding has not been explored further. Y. lipolytica seems also to have been isolated from soft drinks, juices, wine, must and cider (Deák and Beuchat, 1987; Groenewald et al., 2014).

1.2 Y. lipolytica is safe to use
Y. lipolytica is generally regarded as a non-pathogen and is reported as such as it does not cause disease in healthy people, and most strains of Y. lipolytica are unable to grow at temperatures higher than 32°C (Lelieveld et al., 1996; Nicaud, 2012; Groenewald et al., 2014). Only within the last decade has Y. lipolytica been considered a part of the natural human mycobiota, primarily found in adults’ mouths and respiratory tracts (Desnos-Ollivier et al., 2020). Furthermore, no reports of the direct production of toxic compounds by Y. lipolytica have been made (Groenewald et al., 2014). The yeast is, however, occasionally seen as an organism causing opportunistic biofilm infections in mainly immunocompromised individuals, meaning that it acts similarly to other non-pathogen yeast such as S. cerevisiae (Holzschu et al., 1979; Groenewald et al., 2014). The infections are easily treated; in some cases, they can even disappear without treatment (Groenewald et al., 2014). Despite this, Y. lipolytica has been classified as a Biosafety Level 1 in most European countries and by the Public Health Services (Washington DC, United States). Multiple industrial production applications of Y. lipolytica have been labelled as “Generally Regarded as Safe” (GRAS), e.g., in citrate, erythritol, and β-carotene production. Thus, the yeast itself has gained a GRAS status. Furthermore, Y. lipolytica has been labelled as a “recommended biological agent for production purposes” by the European Food and Feed Cultures Association (EFFCA) and as a “microorganism with a documented use in food” by the International Dairy Federation (IDF) (Groenewald et al., 2014; Desnos-Ollivier et al., 2020; Madzak, 2021).
2 A potential starter in fermented foods
Most focus on the use of Y. lipolytica has, until today, been from a biotech point of view. Particular emphasis has been on optimising the production of one or more metabolites of particular interest, and Y. lipolyticas’ ability to secrete a myriad of interesting compounds has been thoroughly tested and optimised both in wild strains and in engineered strains, e.g., citrate, iso-citrate, 2-phenylethanol, γ-decalactone, sugar alcohols, Single Cell Oils (SCO), and Single Cell Proteins (SCP) (Anastassiadis et al., 2002; Finogenova et al., 2002; Papanikolaou et al., 2002; Anastassiadis et al., 2007; Iucci et al., 2007; Patrignani et al., 2007; Mansour et al., 2008; Bankar et al., 2009; Beopoulos et al., 2009; Celińska et al., 2013; 2015; Groenewald et al., 2014; Sibirny et al., 2014; Zinjarde, 2014; Braga and Belo, 2015; Kamzolova and Morgunov, 2017 Sarris et al., 2017; Kamzolova et al., 2018; Madzak, 2018; Carsanba et al., 2020; Fickers et al., 2020; Małajowicz et al., 2020 Kamzolova and Morgunov, 2021; Kothari et al., 2022). Only non-engineered strains will be discussed in the current review due to general consumer reluctance to food produced using engineered strains (Curtis et al., 2004).
Outside of a biotechnological context, the use of Y. lipolytica in food has mainly been on meat and dairy products due to the extreme lipolytic and proteolytic activity of the yeast. It has been suggested in multiple articles that Y. lipolytica can be used as a starter for the production of both cheese and dried fermented sausages, with very diverse applications, e.g., faster ripening, improved textural and flavour quality, and bioprotection of the products (Freitas et al., 1999; Wyder et al., 1999; van den Tempel and Jakobsen, 2000; Addis et al., 2001; Gardini et al., 2001; Lourens-Hattingh and Viljoen, 2002; Ferreira and Viljoen, 2003; Żarowska et al., 2004; Lanciotti et al., 2005; Larpin et al., 2006; Iucci et al., 2007; Patrignani et al., 2007; Mansour et al., 2008; Patrignani et al., 2011a; Patrignani et al., 2011b; Büyükta, 2013; Szoltysik et al., 2013; Zinjarde, 2014; Centeno et al., 2017). Y. lipolytica has furthermore been suggested to possess probiotic traits (Rai et al., 2019; Agarbati et al., 2021a; Agarbati et al., 2021b) and has the potential for use in the production of functional food (Rai et al., 2019; Jach and Malm, 2022). More scarcely alternative suggestions for uses for Y. lipolytica as a starter have been seen, e.g., for the fermentation of green coffee and palm kernels for improving flavour profiles (Lee et al., 2017; Zhang et al., 2019). In common for all the abovementioned applications, they apply surface fermentation of a solid medium. This is most probably due to the obligate aerobic nature of Y. lipolytica (Barth and Gaillardin, 1997; Patrignani et al., 2007; Bankar et al., 2009; Gori et al., 2013; Sutherland et al., 2014). To the best of our knowledge, only one patent application has been filed (by CSK Food Enrichment BV) on a starter culture containing Y. lipolytica and Kluyveromyces lactis for application in cheese production (Meijer et al., 2020). We have been unable to find any commercial starter cultures containing Y. lipolytica for a meat-related application. This limits the commercial application of Y. lipolytica as a starter in food production. Even more limited is the application and knowledge of Y. lipolytica in fermented beverages, despite its potential.
The use of yeast as a probiotic organism and in the production of functional food is still in its early stages in commercial large scale production, but it has received significant attention in recent years (Kumura et al., 2004; Fleet and Balia, 2006; Martirosyan and Leem, 2019; Rai et al., 2019; Sadeghi et al., 2022). Thus, exploring the potential for Y. lipolytica in that context could prove relevant and interesting. As earlier mentioned, Y. lipolytica has been isolated from kefir (Rohm and Lehner, 1990; Lu et al., 2014; Kalamaki and Angelidis, 2017) and traditionally fermented Belgian sour beer (Spitaels et al., 2014). However, the knowledge about the functionality of Y. lipolytica in these products is minimal.
Agarbati et al. (2021a) tested several yeasts with probiotic traits to produce kefir in a co-fermentation with a commercial strain of the lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus casei. They found that, among other yeasts, Y. lipolytica showed promising results as a co-fermenter for producing kefir on an industrial scale. However, they also emphasised the importance of further research to determine scalability, and whether Y. lipolytica can be used as a probiotic organism in a safe manner (Agarbati et al., 2021a).
Gutiérrez et al. (2018) performed a vast screening experiment testing the performance and production of pleasant aroma compounds by non-conventional yeasts in three different media; glucose wort, grape juice and apple juice. It was concluded that out of multiple yeast species tested, Y. lipolytica was one of the most promising (Gutiérrez et al., 2018).
Lastly, the performance of a strain of Y. lipolytica has been evaluated in brewers’ wort under different temperatures and aeration conditions. It was found that Y. lipolytica can grow in a brewers’ wort containing iso-α-acid, and the only sugars consumed were glucose and fructose (Sørensen et al., 2022). Thus, Y. lipolytica could be considered maltose-negative (Flores et al., 2000; Coelho et al., 2010; Spagnuolo et al., 2018). Under high aeration conditions, 75%–80% of the total amino acids were consumed, and the interesting aroma compound 2-phenylethanol was produced (Sørensen et al., 2022).
One potential challenge when using Y. lipolytica as a starter is its dimorphic nature. Y. lipolytica can morph into a filamentous hyphae form, which is highly undesirable in liquid fermentations due to upscaling problems derived from increased viscosity (Magdouli et al., 2018; Timoumi et al., 2018). A long list of external factors (e.g., nutrients, pH, and temperature) act as stressors and can induce the hyphae growth form (Timoumi et al., 2018). This issue could putatively be solved by immobilising the cells, which have been applied to Y. lipolytica and other yeasts before with good results (Fang and Zhang, 2008; Nedovic et al., 2009), by thorough selection work, searching for better production strains, or by applying omics tools to increase the understanding of the phenomenon.
2.1 The potential of Y. lipolytica for producing pleasant and functional fermented beverages
In the following, we will review the potential for Y. lipolytica as a starter for producing functional fermented beverages and beverages with improved organoleptic qualities. It will be reviewed in fruit, grain, honey and dairy-based contexts.
Continuous demand from consumers for “natural” and “healthy” food and beverages, preferably with official health claims, makes the use of Y. lipolytica as a starter interesting. First it is Crabtree negative (Dashko et al., 2014), thus not produce alcohol, meaning it will not impose regulatory issues, secondly it can synthesise several compounds already used as additives in food and beverages to obtain organoleptic pleasing and stable products. Using Y. lipolytica might make it possible to make a “natural” “clean-label” product without additives but with the same qualities.
3 Aroma production
Y. lipolytica is a producer of 2-phenylethanol, an important aroma compound in the food and cosmetic industries. Its aroma is described as fresh and rose-like (Hua and Xu, 2011; Celińska et al., 2013; Celińska et al., 2015). Celińska et al. (2015) showed that Y. lipolytica synthesises 2-phenylethanol in a medium with glucose as a carbon source, and Sørensen et al. (2022) have shown that it can also be produced in a brewers’ wort where both glucose and fructose were consumed (Celińska et al., 2015; Sørensen et al., 2022). This opens up the use of Y. lipolytica as an in situ producer of 2-phenylethanol as part of the fermentation of glucose-containing substrates, e.g., brewers’ wort, glucose wort and various fruit juices (see Figure 1).
Furthermore, Y. lipolytica can synthesise lactones from fatty acids used as a fruity aroma compound in multiple industries. γ-decalactone is the most interesting of these and the one with the most focus in the literature. It is described as pleasantly oily-peach-like (Braga and Belo, 2016; Małajowicz et al., 2020). It has been found that the main component of castor oil, ricinoleic acid, a C18-hydroxylated fatty acid, is one of the most promising substrates for optimised production of γ-decalactone (Braga and Belo, 2013; Braga and Belo, 2015; Braga and Belo, 2016; Małajowicz et al., 2020; Kothari et al., 2022). More than 400 fatty acids are found in milk, with the diversity originating from which animal it is derived from and what feed is given (Barłowska and Litwińczuk, 2009; Markiewicz-Kęszycka et al., 2013; Djordjevic et al., 2019). With this diversity, it is likely possible to obtain milk with a suitable fatty acid content which can support the synthesis of γ-decalactone by Y. lipolytica when used as a starter in milk (see Figure 1).
Both abovementioned aroma compounds are interesting for beverage applications and could be of interest if produced naturally during fermentation. This, however, needs further research with optimisation, up-scaling, and product consistency in mind.
4 Production of organic acids by Y. lipolytica and their potential uses in fermented beverages
Citrate (CA), iso-citrate (ICA), succinate and α-ketoglutarate are all intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (Stern, 1957; Vickery, 1962; Aurich et al., 2012). CA and ICA have similar physico-chemical properties (Kamzolova and Morgunov, 2019). Y. lipolytica is well known for overproduction of both when under nitrogen limitation (Antonucci et al., 2001; Cavallo et al., 2017; Kamzolova and Morgunov, 2017; Madzak, 2021). Synthesis of CA and ICA by Y. lipolytica has been seen on substrates with various carbon sources, such as glucose, glycerol, ethanol, lactose, n-alkenes, lipids and fatty acids (Beopoulos et al., 2009; Kamzolova et al., 2013; Arslan et al., 2016; Kamzolova and Morgunov, 2017; Kamzolova and Morgunov, 2019; Bankar et al., 2020; Madzak, 2021; Jach and Malm, 2022; Park and Ledesma-Amaro, 2023). Depending on the strain of Y. lipolytica and medium, the proportions of CA to ICA vary significantly. More CA than ICA is produced when grown on glucose and glycerol (Förster et al., 2007; Moeller et al., 2007; Rywińska et al., 2010; Morgunov et al., 2013; Otto et al., 2013; Kamzolova et al., 2015; Kamzolova and Morgunov, 2017), where identical amounts or more ICA than CA is produced when grown in a medium with plant lipids as C-source (Aurich et al., 2012; Kamzolova and Morgunov, 2017; Kamzolova et al., 2020).
CA is a common additive used in both food and beverages. It contributes to a pleasant tartness, helps lower pH, and can work as a flavour enhancer (Merritt and Bouchard, 1979; Soccol et al., 2006; Kirimura et al., 2011; Quitmann et al., 2014; Cavallo et al., 2017; Fickers et al., 2020). From a functional viewpoint, CA and its derivates can act as synergists, thus aiding primary antioxidant stability (Pokorny et al., 2001; Quitmann et al., 2014), inhibiting the growth of bacteria directly and by chelating essential divalent cations (Hirshfield et al., 2003; Shi et al., 2022), protect against oxidative deterioration in flavour and colour in food and beverages (Cavallo et al., 2017; Kamzolova et al., 2020). Lastly, CA can act as a chelating agent in food and beverages enhancing product stability by forming stable water-soluble complexes with free metal ions in the product, thus avoiding reactions between metal ions and other compounds that can cause precipitation, loss of nutritional qualities and off-flavours to form (Nauta, 1991). Applying Y. lipolytica as a starter for an in situ production of CA seems highly relevant in multiple fermented beverages. For instance, in the production of a novel type of sour beer, where lactic acid is typically the primary souring agent (Domizio et al., 2016; Osburn et al., 2018; Ciosek et al., 2020), the amount of CA likely produced could yield a balanced and palatable liquid. Additionally, the production of 2-phenylethanol could be envisioned, and the resulting fermented beverage would have a pleasant tartness with a rose-like aroma (see Figure 1).
ICA has, for many years, primarily been used as a biochemical reagent for the analysis of enzymes (Finogenova et al., 2005; Kamzolova and Morgunov, 2019). To the best of our knowledge, the organoleptic qualities of ICA have never been reported. It has, within the last 2 decades, gained interest as an agent for treatments of anaemia caused by iron deficiency (Finogenova et al., 2005), a powerful antioxidant in cells of infusoria under oxygen-infused stress (Kamzolova et al., 2018), aid in relieving neuro toxication induced by lead and molybdenum salts (Morgunov et al., 2019), and lastly, it can be used to help resorption of blood clots (Finogenova et al., 2005). It is likely that if Y. lipolytica is used as a starter for producing a fermented beverage, then a considerable amount of ICA could be produced (see Figure 1). The fermentation with Y. lipolytica could ultimately result in a functional beverage due to all the functional characteristics of ICA.
Other organic acids of interest synthesised by Y. lipolytica in beverage-like substrates include succinate, α-ketoglutarate and kynurenic acid (see Figure 1) (Chernyavskaya et al., 2000; Kamzolova et al., 2009; Otto et al., 2013; Wróbel-Kwiatkowska et al., 2020a; Wróbel-Kwiatkowska et al., 2020b). Succinate also presents itself with multiple uses. It is used in the food industry as a flavour enhancer, acidifier and antimicrobial agent (Otto et al., 2013; Quitmann et al., 2014). It is also used in medicine for multiple purposes, e.g., as an anti-hypoxic, antistress and immunoactive compound (Kamzolova et al., 2009). The health benefits of α-ketoglutarate have been extensively reviewed, including antioxidative qualities and potential benefits on wound healing and muscle growth (Gyanwali et al., 2022 and references herein). Furthermore, it has been shown to extend the lifespan of worms, insects and mammals as well as delay the decline in fertility as an effect of age in humans (Wu et al., 2016; Su et al., 2019; Asadi Shahmirzadi et al., 2020; Rhoads and Anderson, 2020; Zhang et al., 2021). Kynurenic acid is also regarded as an interesting compound for its health benefits. It exhibits antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anticonvulsant properties. It has furthermore been shown to inhibit colon cancer and has abilities to protect the human brain (Han et al., 2010; Walczak et al., 2014; Walczak et al., 2020). Wróbel-Kwiatkowska et al. have shown that a strain of Y. lipolytica could synthesise kynurenic acid in submerged fermentation in a medium containing fructose and tryptophan or honey (Wróbel-Kwiatkowska et al., 2020a; Wróbel-Kwiatkowska et al., 2020b). The possibility of using beverages to administer kynurenic acid to humans has been shown (Turska et al., 2018). This makes the use of Y. lipolytica for producing a functional fermented beverage containing kynurenic acid highly relevant. Such a beverage could be based on fruit juices containing fructose, liquids containing honey, or a combination. Further research into the production of this type of fermented beverage is necessary.
5 Production of polyols by Y. lipolytica and their potential effect in fermented beverages
Wild type strains of Y. lipolytica has been shown to produce polyols like mannitol, arabitol and erythritol in medias contining glucose (see Figure 1) (Ghezelbash et al., 2012; Workman et al., 2013; Papanikolaou et al., 2017). Polyols are interestin in a beverage setting and are commonly used as an ingredient in food for their ability to act as flavour enhancers, low calorie sweeteners, as well as being suitable for consumption by diabetics (Grembecka, 2015; Rzechonek et al., 2018; Jach and Malm, 2022).
6 Potential effect on shelflife of fermented beverages
The ability of Y. lipolyticas to consume most of the available amino acids in both cheese like media and brewers’ wort (Mansour et al., 2008; Sørensen et al., 2022) makes it highly interesting when looking at the potential shelf life of a fermented beverage made with it. In, e.g., a beer context, low amino acid concentration prolongs flavour stability simultaneously with a decrease in potential bioactivity (Jones and Pierce, 1964; Ferreira and Guido, 2018). This, combined with the previously mentioned abilities of several of the organic acids to acidify and lower pH and the antimicrobial, chelating and antioxidative properties of CA and ICA, will most likely yield extremely stable fermented beverages, both in a chemical and microbiological context.
7 Conclusion
Y, lipolytica possesses many traits that could prove highly valuable for producing novel fermented beverages. It is “safe-to-use” in both a food and biotech context. It can synthesise and excrete multiple compounds of interest, e.g., the aroma compounds 2-phenylethanol and γ-decalactone, a selection of interesting organic acids that encompasses properties for either enhanced flavour, functional effect in humans, acts as a preservative or a combination of these. Y. lipolytica has furthermore been suggested to have probiotic properties. It can assimilate large amounts of amino acids, which, in combination with metabolites with preserving qualities, can result in a very shelf-stable product. Along with its lack of ethanol production in both aerobic and anaerobic fermentations, these traits make further experimentation with Y. lipolytica in an alcohol free fermented beverage setting highly relevant.
