The concept of zero waste in the sugar industry has encouraged the development of technologies that promote utilization of byproducts, including the enzymatic conversion of waste feed stocks into nutraceutical products. Here we investigated a membrane reactor for the production of fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) with immobilized enzyme (Pectinex Ultra SP-L) system using pretreated molasses as substrate with cleaning efficiency and less fouling as performance tools. The resulting spectra showed a high FOS yield of 63% with 89% conversion from available sucrose. So the EMR system with innovative continuous separation of enzyme was proved to fit for the production of FOS.
