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.
Starch is a polysaccharide made from glucose. Since it is only made of glucose, starch is considered a homosaccharide. The basic chemical formula of starch, (C6H10O5) n, is similar to glucose, C6H12O6, - where n is the number of glucose molecules present.There are two forms of starch: amylose and amylopectin, which are unbranched and branched, respectively. Starch is often identified by using iodine staining.tarch, therefore, is a polysaccharide. Specifically, starch is composed of the sugar glucose. Plants use glucose to produce energy, but they're not always making glucose, just as we're constantly eating to get our energy. Much like we store up energy reserves after eating, so do plants.
