Carbohydrate Hydrolysis

Carbohydrate hydrolysis is a process by which large sugar molecules such as starch, glycogen and cellulose are broken down into simple sugars such as glucose and fructose. This process is important in the breakdown and absorption of dietary carbohydrates as well as a wide range of biological processes. Carbohydrate hydrolysis is an important metabolic process, and its products are used in many industries such as food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries for a variety of applications. It is also used in the production of biofuels and for the production of alcohols and other chemicals.
