Hydrolysis of starch refers to the chemical process in which the bonds in starch are cleaved through nucleophilic substitution reactions to yield D glucose. In the hydrolysis of starch, when the reaction is complete, a brown colouration will be observed. The colouration indicates that the starch has been completely broken down.
