Design of a Biocatalytic Flow Reactor Based on Hierarchically Structured Monolithic Silica for Producing Galactooligosaccharides (GOSs)

Climate change mitigation requires the development of greener chemical processes. In this context, biocatalysis is a pivotal key enabling technology. The advantages include lower energy consumption levels, reduced hazardous waste production and safer possibility to carry out biocatalytic reactions under flow conditions provides additional advantage retain biocatalyst reduce costly downstream Herein, we report method produce galactooligosaccharides (GOSs) from largely available feedstock (i.e. lactose dairy production) using reactor based on hierarchically structured monolithic silica. This allows for fast efficient biotransformation reaction in conditions.
