This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to develop a reactor for the processing of vegetable oils or their resulting fatty acids to sugar esters. The membrane reactor system is envisioned to be permeable to small molecules, hydrogen and water. The esterification of fatty acids and sugars will occur in a non-aqueous environment and the water level in the reactor will be controlled by membrane properties and transmembrane pressure. It is expected that high conversion to sugar esters can be obtained at low enzyme concentrations. Moreover, continuous operation of the reactor can result in high productivity.

这个小企业技术转让（STTR）第一阶段项目是开发一种反应器，用于将植物油或其产生的脂肪酸加工成糖酯。膜反应器系统被设想为对小分子、氢和水是可渗透的。脂肪酸和糖的酯化将在非水环境中发生，并且反应器中的水位将通过膜性质和跨膜压力来控制。预期在低酶浓度下可获得高的糖酯转化率。 此外，反应器的连续操作可导致高生产率。
