Growing concerns over the environmental impact of fossil fuels and their inevitable depletion have led to intense research on the development of alternative energy or chemicals. One of alternatives is biomass including foods, plants, and wastes. It can beconverted into biofuel or other chemicals through saccharification and fermentation process. Conventional raw material for fermentation is terrestrial resources such as corn, sugarcane, and wood. Compared to other feedstocks, macroalgae have a great potential for cultivation area. Ulva pertusa, dominant species in Korea, is distributed in various coastal waters including the brackish waters of the inner bays. Also, Ulva pertusa is rich in polysaccharide 44.7 % of dry weight. Therefore, it is worthwhile to determine how to make use of Ulva pertusa in an economic manner. In this study, we investigated the optimal saccharification condition of Ulva pertusa by changing reaction temperature, acid concentration, and reaction time.
