Method for glycosylating and separating plant fiber material

摘要

The invention relates to a method for hydrolyzing a plant fiber material to produce and separate a saccharide including glucose. The method includes a hydrolysis process of using a cluster acid catalyst in a pseudo-molten state to hydrolyze cellulose contained in the plant fiber material, and produce glucose. The cluster acid catalyst is subjected to a clustering enhancing treatment by which clustering of the cluster acid catalyst in a crystalline state is enhanced.
