Is glucose a main product that is released during photosynthesis?

Yes, Glucose is the main product, which is carbohydrate or simple sugar release during the process of photosynthesis.

The reaction of photosynthesis process is commonly written as:

      6CO2     +      6H2O             SunLight       ---->       C6H12O6         +    6O2
Carbon dioxide         Water       Chlorophyll              Carbohydrates      Oxygen

During the process of photosynthesis, six carbon dioxide molecules (reactant) and six water molecules (reactant), are converted into one sugar molecule (carbohydrate) (product) and six oxygen molecules (byproduct) in the presence of light energy (sunlight) captured by chlorophyll.
