Yeast has been very important in the fermentation of foods and beverages. Saccharomyces cerevisiae or baker's yeast is the common name for the strain of yeast that is used for baking bread and other bakery products. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the principal yeast utilized for its unique physiology and associated key role in food fermentation. Dough which is used for making bread is fermented by baker’s yeast. Microbes, especially yeasts have been used for production of beverages like beer, whisky etc., too. There are many more industrial products that are also made by fermentation with yeast.
