Squalene uses extend from cosmetics to the medical and nutraceutical sectors. International concern for the protection of the deep sea sharks, the major source for this hydrocarbon so far, has engendered research interest in other directions (plant kingdom, microbes). Biotechnology offers an alternative approach with the potential of safety requirements and high‐yield. Saccharomyces cerevisiae appears to be a promising choice for food and nutraceutical applications.
