Claim:
1. A saccharifying enzyme composition for subjecting lignocellulose-based biomass as a substrate to a saccharification treatment, the composition comprising a mixture of: an endoglucanase not containing a cellulose-binding domain as set forth in SEQ ID NO:1; a cellobiohydrolase containing a cellulose-binding domain as set forth in SEQ ID NO:2; and a β-glucosidase containing a cellulose-binding domain as set forth in SEQ ID NO:3; wherein the endoglucanase, the cellobiohydrolase and the β-glucosidase collectively account for 30% to 80% by mass of all enzymes present in the saccharifying enzyme composition, and wherein the endoglucanase, the cellobiohydrolase and the β-glucosidase are present in the saccharifying enzyme composition in a mass ratio in a range of 0.2 to 2.5:1:0.2 to 2.5.
