The product obtained, when starch is hydrolyzed with dilute sulphuric acid at 393 K under pressure, is |
Glucose only A mixture of glucose and fructose Fructose only Gluconic acid |
Glucose only |
The correct answer is Option (1) → Glucose only The reaction shown represents the hydrolysis of starch. Hydrolysis of Starch
The product obtained is: $$\mathbf{n\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6} \quad (\alpha-\text{D}-\text{Glucose})$$ The product obtained, when starch is hydrolyzed with dilute sulphuric acid at $\text{393 K}$ under pressure, is $\alpha-\text{D}-\text{Glucose}$ (or simply Glucose). |
