    Abstract: The present invention provides an ionic liquid represented by the following chemical formula (I): [(CH3)3N(CH2)2(OH]+[NH2—L—COO]− where L is —(CH2)2— or —(CH2)3—.   (I) The present invention also provides an ionic liquid composition containing an ionic liquid; and water. The ionic liquid is represented by the above chemical formula (I). A molar ratio of [(CH3)3N(CH2)2OH]+ to [NH2—L—COO]− is not less than 0.86 and not more than 1.12. A weight ratio of the water to the ionic liquid composition is not more than 4.7%. The present invention provides an ionic liquid capable of dissolving cellulose without an cellulose-degrading enzyme (namely, an enzyme capable of hydrolyzing cellulose).
