Abstract:
1. A process for producing a saccharified solution of lignocellulosic biomass, the process comprising preparation of a pretreated material for saccharification by pretreating lignocellulosic biomass as a substrate to dissociate lignin contained in the lignocellulosic biomass or swell the lignocellulosic biomass, and a saccharifying treatment of a substrate-saccharifying enzyme mixture obtained by adding a saccharifying enzyme produced by a microorganism to the pretreated material for saccharification with the saccharifying enzyme to produce a saccharified solution, wherein the saccharifying enzyme is a mixture of a first saccharifying enzyme originated from one or more microorganisms selected from the group consisting of fungi of the genus the substrate-saccharifying enzyme mixture contains the substrate at a concentration in a range of 10 to 26% by mass, and the substrate-saccharifying enzyme mixture contains the first saccharifying enzyme at a concentration in a range of 0.1 to 10% by mass, and the second saccharifying enzyme at a concentration in a range of 0.06 to 1.0% by mass.
