I have been doing some research on conversion methods and am trying to

anyone know of a method that results on glucose or glycosides?
Ideally it would result in an edn produce in as high a consentration
as possible to minimize increasing concentration for conversion.

Look at bacteria ... I recall American Can Company having a demo unit
in their Princeton R&D facility 30 years ago ... since both are no
longer in existence ... I couldn't tell you where to start ... just
that it did exist and it did work ... with no full scale production
units around today ... I would guess the economics weren't there ...
today with subsidies who knows ...
