Glucose is widely distributed in small amounts in fruits, plant juices and honey. It is commercially produced by the acid or enzyme hydrolysis of grain and root starches. Glucose is of special interest in nutrition because it is the end-product of carbohydrate digestion in all non-ruminant animals including fish.
hydrolysis (hÄ«drolÂ´isis) , n 1. a reaction between the ions of salt and those of water to form an acid and a base, one or both of which is only slightly dissociated. A process whereby a large molecule is split by the addition of water.The end products divide the water, the hydroxyl group being attached to one and the hydrogen ion to the other. 1. a reaction between the ions of salt and those of water to form an acid and a base, one or both of which is only slightly dissociated.
