Enzyme membrane reactors for production of oligosaccharides: A review on the interdependence between enzyme reaction and membrane separation

Certain types of oligosaccharides are especially interesting due to their high commercial value, however, the traditional oligosaccharide fabrication process is neither sustainable nor tailorable for obtainment of commercial standard oligosaccharide streams. The use of enzymatic membrane reactors (EMR) is proposed as a sustainable strategy to obtain oligosaccharides through a coupled bioreaction-separation process. In such process, glycosidic...
