Description IN VIEW of the shortage of food-grains in the
country, maize or other cereal starches are not
available for the production of Glucose. Results
of certain preliminary experiments carried out
in this laboratory on the standardization of
conditions for the acid hydrolysis of tapioca
starch are reported in this note. Tapioca has
been used as a raw material for the manufacture
of dextrose in the United States (Williams 1, 2).
Since tapioca is a heavy yielding crop, which
can be grown on comparatively poor soils with
low rainfall, the use of tapioca for the manufacture
of glucose has economic and commercial
possibilities.
