Pseudo first order reaction: The word pseudo refers to false. The reaction that is not a first order reaction but is made a first order reaction by addition or removal of the concentration of one reactant.
Here, Breaking down of sugar into glucose and fructose is not a first order reaction. But, it is made one by increasing the concentration of one of the reaction.
