    Design of a biocatalytic flow reactor based on hierarchically structured monolithic silica for producing galactooligosaccharides (GOSs)
    (Schweizerische Chemische Gesellschaft, 2023) Dejoma, Riccardo; Buscemi, Andrea; Cutrona, Emilio; Shahgaldian, Patrick
    Climate change mitigation requires the development of greener chemical processes. In this context, biocatalysis is a pivotal key enabling technology. The advantages of biocatalysis include lower energy consumption levels, reduced hazardous waste production and safer processes. The possibility to carry out biocatalytic reactions under flow conditions provides the additional advantage to retain the biocatalyst and to reduce costly downstream processes. Herein, we report a method to produce galactooligosaccharides (GOSs) from a largely available feedstock (i.e. lactose from dairy production) using a flow reactor based on hierarchically structured monolithic silica. This reactor allows for fast and efficient biotransformation reaction in flow conditions.
