Key Points

To synthesize current knowledge on non-conventional yeasts in breadmaking and establish a structured roadmap for technological and functional strain selection.
Evaluated fermentative capacity, carbohydrate utilization, and stress tolerance across standard, high-sugar, and gluten-free dough systems.
Assessed functional traits including volatile aromatic profile generation, phytase and protease enzymatic activities, FODMAP reduction, and microbiological safety criteria.
Genera including Torulaspora, Kluyveromyces, Wickerhamomyces, Pichia, and Hanseniaspora demonstrate metabolic versatility that enriches volatile aroma diversity and lowers FODMAP content.
Enzymatic phytase and protease activities from non-conventional yeasts enhance mineral bioavailability and protein breakdown across diverse bread matrices.
Safety criteria require systematic screening to confirm the absence of virulence factors, antifungal resistance, and biogenic amine production prior to bakery application.
