High-fructose corn syrup is produced by converting starch from corn into a mixture of glucose and fructose monosaccharides. what two events must occur in this process in order to turn starch into these simple sugars?

To help separate the starch from the corn kernels, sodium hydroxide or lye is used. After this process is completed, the starch goes through a series of bacteria made enzymes. These enzymes break the starch down into glucose, which is needed to make the high-fructose syrup.
