摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a producing method of reducing occurrence of odor and discoloration in an object produced using plant and a plant-derived material.SOLUTION: A method of producing a plant-based material includes carrying out a contact process of bringing a plant material selected from among plants and plant-derived materials into contact with an aqueous solvent. The method produces the plant-based material in which water-soluble ingredients contained in the plant material are removed and a content of at least saccharides of the water-soluble ingredients is less than that of a plant material. The contact process is preferably carried out by cracking the plant material in the aqueous solvent.
