•A new protocol combining transesterification with epoxidation was reported.•Continuous synthesis and consumption of FAMEs without purification was realized.•Online separation promoted by a novel oil–water separating device was conducted.•Epoxide number can reach up to 5.52 within 12 min.
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.
