Solution:
- (a) Manufacture-By hydrolysis of starch with hot dil. mineral acids
$ \begin{aligned} & (C_6 H _{10} O_5) _{n} \to(C_6 H _{10} O_5) _{n} \to \\ & \text{ Starch Dextrin } \\ & C _{12} H _{22} O _{11} \xrightarrow{H_2 O} 2 C_6 H _{12} O_6 \\ & \text{ Maltose } \quad \text{ Glucose } \end{aligned} $
