Best Answer: Yeast is a microscopic plant that feeds on sugar. It is used in brewing, breadmaking, and as a nutritional supplement (B vitamin complex). There are different types--brewer's yeast, bread yeast, etc.. The yeast in a yeast infection is in the same family, but you wouldn't want to cook with it.any types of yeasts are used for making many foods: Baker's yeast in bread production, brewer's yeast in beer fermentation, yeast in wine fermentation and for xylitol[19] production. Yeasts are also one of the most widely used model organisms for genetics and cell biology.
Yeast in bread making. Yeast is used for the leavening of bread. Yeast uses the sugars and oxygen in dough to produce more yeast cells and carbon dioxide gas. This is called multiplication.The carbon dioxide makes the dough rise which gives the bread a light and spongy texture.Yeast also works on the gluten network.nstead it ferments carbohydrates (sugars) to produce carbon dioxide and alcohol which gives bread it's texture, colour and aroma. There are several types of yeasts but the important ones for the baking industry are those belonging to the genus Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which means sugar eating yeast.
