N2 - In the last ten years, the number of publications related to process intensification (PI) has been quadrupled. This increasing interest that created many innovations can be found not only in chemo-catalytic processes but has also reached the field of enzymatic processes. The recent scientific and technological advances in bioprocess intensification have been dedicated to improving the use of enzymes in selective oxidative reactions, obtaining more environmentally friendly and resource efficient applications. In this mini-review, we provide an overview of the different PI definitions, and recent studies focusing on intensification of oxidative biocatalytic reactions regarding (i) non-conventional media, (ii) process data and analytics, (iii) reactor engineering, and (iv) downstream processing. Remarking how the advances of other fields can be used for process intensification and for obtaining new goals (e.g., PI 4.0). Model-based simulations and new sensor technologies can guarantee optimal and more automated processes with new reactor designs, together with the use of non-conventional media and enzyme immobilization, to intensify biocatalytic oxidation processes.
