HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose is converted into starch by the process called polymerization. In polymerization, several simple and soluble molecules of glucose are put together to form a complex, insoluble molecule of starch. Polymerization is similar to constructing a large building out of the same type of small blocks.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucoamylase is then added to convert more than 90 % of the starch to glucose substantially free of microbial activity. The glucose containing hydrolysate is then converted to lactic acid by fermentation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Starch is a polymer of glucose, i.e. a starch molecule is formed by combining several glucose molecules; the process is termed polymerisation.
