Torula (Latin name: Candida utilis; formerly Torulopsis utilis, Torula utilis) is a species of yeast.
Use
Torula, in its inactive form (usually labeled as
torula yeast), is widely used as a flavouring in processed foods and pet foods. It is produced from
wood sugars, as a by-product of
paper production. It is pasteurized and spray-dried to produce a fine, light grayish-brown powder with a slightly yeasty odor and gentle, slightly meaty taste.
