Abstract
The fermentation of mannitol from Sargassum sp. was studied using Saccharomyces substrate types on the ethanol yield were determined. It was concluded that the fermentation time and type of substrates had a significant effect on the ethanol yield while the substrate concentration had no significant effect at all.The minimum time that would effectively ferment mannitol was between 24 and 48 hours. Considering the different substrate type, the crude extracted mannitol yielded the highest ethanol yield with 0.365%(v/v) followed by the ground Sargassum with 0.268% (v/v) and commercial mannitol with 0.134% (v/v).
