Zusammenfassung:A process for the preparation of water-soluble cellulose hydrolysis products, which comprises admixing cellulose with an ionic liquid in which the cellulose has at least some solubility, said ionic liquid being a compound comprised solely of cations and anions and which exists in a liquid state at a temperature at or below 150 DEG C; and treating the resulting solution with an acid in the presence of water, said acid having a pKa in water of less than 2 at 25 DEG C.
