What converts insoluble starch to insoluble sugar?

In: Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

Firstly what the end products of the starch converting to glucose are soluble. Starch is converted to alpha glucose monomers by the addition of water to the glycosidic bonds which join the glucose molecules together. This addition of water is a hydrolysis reaction and seperates the glucose molocules form the starch polymer. The enzyme amalayse is responsible for catalysing the break down of starch into SOLUBLE glucose molecules (monomers).

Relevant answers:

Why is starch insoluble?
It's because starch is a polysaccharide. A polysaccharide has thousands and thousands of monosaccharides bonded together. All those bonds make the starch hard to break apart and dissolve in water.
Why are salt and sugar insoluble in oil?
As far as I know it is because oil is non-polar
Is corn starch insoluble?
All starch is insoluble (in water), whether its from corn or from another plant. This is due to the coiled shape of the polymer (chain of molecules) that forms as a result of the glycosidic linkages...
Is sugar soluble or insoluble in water?
Sugar is soluble in water. Sugar is the solute and solutes dissolve in the solvent which is water.
Is sugar souble or insoluble in water?
Sugar is soluble in water.
