JEE Main 2025 — 28 January, Evening Shift — Question 32

Identify correct conversion during acidic hydrolysis from the following :

(A) starch gives galactose.

(B) cane sugar gives equal amount of glucose and fructose.

(D) amylopectin gives glucose and fructose.

(E) amylose gives only glucose.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

(A) Starch $\xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}^{+} / \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}}$ Glucose

(B) Cane sugar $\xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}^{+} / \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}}$ glucose + fructose (Sucrose)

                                                             $50 \% \quad 50 \%$

(D) Amylopectin $\xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}^{+} / \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}}$ Glucose

(E) Amylose $\xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}^{+} / \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}}$ Glucose

So, correct options are B, C and E only
