Abstract

Probiotic yeasts have great potential due to their positive effects for the prevention and treatment of gastrointestinal infections, type II diabetes, various types of cancer or the adjustment of the intestinal microbiota, among others. Also, these yeasts have nutraceutical capabilities and the ability to improve food quality and safety. Therefore, their study is very interesting to incorporate them into different food matrices.
