Abstract

A new protocol combining transesterification reaction with epoxidation process was reported. Besides, a novel continuous extraction device was employed in the integrated process to realize the automatic continuous flow synthesis of epoxidized fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs). Furthermore, a capillary column containing desiccants was used in the post-processing, leading to dry product.
