Hi Yeslamsumit,
Sorry, I may be misunderstanding your question. Are you asking for the chemical reaction or for a protocol so you can perform this experiment?

yesiamsumit,
I think that the hydrogenation of glucose is not simple. It seems to be done usually with specialized catalysts, pressure vessels, and other expensive equipment.
