Sugar esters are nonionic surfactants and exhibit relevant properties as structural diversity and environmental and health safety. Their potential applications extend from human food to drugs formulation and biochemical studies. Some sugar esters also exhibit interesting biological activities. A lot of papers have been submitted during the last ten years. Those articles describe the various ways of synthesis of those compounds at the laboratory scale. During the last ten years, the most studied method was the biotechnological way using enzyme as a catalyser.
