<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for saccharifying cellulose by which the reaction velocity for hydrolyzing the cellulose contained in a cellulose-containing material by an enzyme can be improved. <P>SOLUTION: The method for saccharifying cellulose by hydrolyzing the cellulose includes carrying out the alkali treatment of bringing the cellulose-containing material into contact with an aqueous alkali solution after the heat-treatment of the cellulose-containing material, cleaning the resultant cellulose-containing material with water and/or an acidic aqueous solution, and subjecting the cleaned cellulose-containing material to an enzyme treatment by bringing the cellulose-containing material into contact with an aqueous solution containing a cellulolytic enzyme to afford an aqueous solution containing a water-soluble oligosaccharide or glucose. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
