Identify the product of the following reaction.
Options
- AFructose
- BGlucose
- CLactose
- DMaltose
Correct answer
B. Glucose
Step-by-step solution
The starch is a polysaccharide. It gives the monosaccharide on the hydrolysis. So, it formed the glucose on the hydrolysis. Reaction: C 6 H 10 O 5 n   +   nH 2 O   → 393   K ,   2 - 3   atm H +   C 6 H 12 O 6 ( Glucose ) Hence, the product of the above reaction is glucose.
