How do starch turn into sugar?

Starch is made of many glucose molecules attached together by glycosidic linkage, which removes water from an equation. To break down starch into sugar, water needs to be added into the glycosidic linkages (a process called hydrolysis). The water completely breaks the starch in to individual sugar molecules.
