Biochemical profiling, prediction of total lipid content and fatty acid profile in oleaginous yeasts by FTIR spectroscopy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Oleaginous yeasts are considered as a potential lipid source for food, feed and biofuel production. In order to make the yeast-based lipid production environmentally and economically sustainable, there is a need for screening studies in order to find the best yeast lipid producers on different substrates, and to optimize cultivation conditions. Since the target parameter of such screening studies are lipid amounts and profiles, an analytical technique that is able to perform lipid analyses rapidly, reproducible and with high precision is highly desirable. The main objective of this study was to establish the non-invasive high-throughput Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis for the prediction of lipid content and profile in oleaginous yeasts.
