Dear Student,

◆ Carbohydrates -

Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or compounds that can be broken into these on hydrolysis.

● Commercial preparation of glucose -

On commercial scale, glucose is prepared by hydrolysis of starch.

When starch is heated with dil.H2SO4 at 393 K, it undergoes hydrolysis to form glucose molecules.

(C6H10O5)n + nH2O --> nC6H12O6

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you..
