Hi there!
Glucose can be prepared in the laboratory by boiling sucrose (cane sugar) with dilute hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid for about two hours. This hydrolyzes sucrose to glucose and fructose. In order to separate glucose from fructose, alcohol is added during cooling. Glucose is almost insoluble in alcohol.
