Solution
Commercial method for preparation of glucose: Commercially glucose is obtained by hydrolysis of starch by boiling it with dilute sulphuric acid at 393K under 2 to 3 atm pressure.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{Starch}}{(C6H10O5)}_{{n}} + {n}H2O ->[H+][393K, 2-3 atm] \underset{\text{Glucose}}{{n}C6H12O6}}\]
