Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Order of steps in glucose production?
A
Slurry preparation-Saccharification-liquification-purification
B
Slurry preparation-liquification-saccharification-isomerization
C
Slurry preparation-liquification-saccharifi cation-purification
D
Slurry preparation-liquification-saccharification-refining
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -saccharification process purposed to convert cellulose into glucose using enzymatic hydrolysis and then glucose will be converted into ethanol using microYorganism on fermentation process7.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chemical saccharification is done by sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. The standardized condition involves temperature of 120–140°C, sustained for around 15 and 30 min of reaction time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Liquefaction and saccharification are the two main steps of starch hydrolysis. Both these processes are very important for domestic purposes and industrially. Liquefaction is the conversion of starch into its soluble form, while saccharification is the conversion of soluble starch into glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -Saccharification, literally “to make into sugar, ” the conversion, by enzymes, of starches into sugars and dextrins during the mashing process. Saccharification of cereal starches into fermentable sugars and unfermentable dextrins creates the basis of the wort, a sugary solution that is later fermented into beer.
