Pichia jadinii?
[edit]A website lists torula as being species Pichia jadinii. Any truth to this? Badagnani 04:53, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

What is the price of 1 kg. of Torula Yeast —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.52.87.105 (talk) 09:39, August 27, 2007 (UTC) alibaba.com lists a variety of materials. Feed yeast not species identified is 300 to 500 USD per metric ton. 15 to 25c per lb
Pentose sugars
[edit]Another website states that torula utilizes pentose sugars from wood. Is this accurate? Badagnani 04:56, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
External links modified
[edit]Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on Torula. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Torula is also a genus
[edit]Please note that Torula is also the taxon name of a genus in its own right. It is a member of the Torulaceae family (order Pleosporales), thus not related to "torula yeast" in the Cyberlindnera genus. See Index Fungorum at Torula Pers., Ann. Bot. (Usteri) 15: 25 (1795) for references. –Tommy Kronkvist (talk), 17:25, 26 November 2017 (UTC).
Torula in dermatological use
[edit] | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please consider adding the following proposed section to the article under "Uses" to document microbial lipid production and topical applications of Cyberlindnera jadinii (Torula), supported by peer-reviewed literature. It's a fascinating field that has exploded in recent years and hasn't been covered in the existing article.
Bio-fermented lipid production and topical applications
[edit]In addition to single-cell protein production, strains of Cyberlindnera jadinii (formerly Candida utilis) are utilized in industrial biotechnology to cultivate bio-fermented single-cell oils as sustainable alternatives to petroleum and plant-derived lipids.[1]
When cultured under lipid-accumulating conditions, the yeast synthesizes a triglyceride matrix predominantly composed of oleic, palmitic, stearic, and linoleic fatty acids.[1][2] In dermatological science and formulation design, this bio-fermented lipid is designated under the INCI name Linoleic/Oleic/Palmitic Triglyceride.[3]
The lipid fraction of C. jadinii naturally contains unsaponifiable bioactive compounds, including squalene, phytosterols (such as ergosterol), and yeast-synthesized carotenoid antioxidants, notably beta-carotene and torulene.[2][4] In topical skin formulations, these microbial lipids function as both emollients and occlusives—supporting skin barrier function, modulating transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and providing topical antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity for sensitive skin.[1][4]
