Chromatography can be employed to analyze the products of starch hydrolysis by separating the resulting compounds based on their different affinities for the stationary and mobile phases. After hydrolysis, a sample can be applied to a chromatographic medium, such as paper or thin-layer chromatography. As the mixture moves through the medium, distinct spots will form for each component based on their size and polarity. If only glucose is detected after the separation, it would indicate that starch hydrolysis produces solely glucose, confirming the reaction's specificity.
