They vary - but nearly always involve reflux followed by removal of water often with the aid of an azeotropic solvent. An acid catalyst such as concentrated sulfuric acid is often employed but titanates and other catalysts have also been used.

What is esterification of sugar?
Probably when you take a sugar with alcohol components (-OH), turn them into O- ions by using a basic conditions (say NaOH) and then alkalizing them to form esters (say CH3I). That would replace all alcohols with (-OCH3 esters). "esterification of sugars"
