Glucose. When starch is treated with dilute acids for a long time it becomes more completely hydrolyzed and is converted into glucose sugar. Often the same factory that extracts the starch also converts it into glucose. This operation is done in large copper boilers under pressure.
Lesson Summary. Starch is long chains of sugar molecules linked together. It is a polysaccharide, which is many sugar molecules linked together, as opposed to a monosaccharide, which is a single sugar molecule. Starch is made from glucose, a sugar molecule made up of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) with a basic chemical formula C6H12O6.
