A continuous process for the synthesis of hexyl beta-D-glucoside in aqueous phase using immobilized beta-glucosidase and extractive product recovery with 1-hexanol
Hexyl beta -d-glucoside was synthesized at 1 mM using immobilized beta -glucosidase with 2.0 M glucose solution with 1-hexanol. The continuous production of hexyl glucoside was achieved by its extractive recovery with 1-hexanol, and 4.9 g of product was obtained during a one week operation using a 26.5 ml reactor.
