ABSTRACT Saccharina japonica , one of the most widely cultivated brown algae species, is considered a promising biorefinery feedstock due to its high carbohydrate content. Dilute acid hydrolysis can be performed recover sugars from S. ; however, impact sugar derivatives (potential inhibitors) generated during process on lactic production remains unexplored. In this study, inhibitory effects fermentation performance Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus were systematically examined enhance bioconversion efficiency . Firstly, present in hydrolysate identified, revealing presence acetic acid, formic and furfural. Subsequently, their assessed, demonstrating significant inhibition ( p < 0.05) at following concentrations: > 2 g/L 0.5 1 Based information, 5% H SO 4 was determined optimal solvent for hydrolysis, enabling with fermentable content minimal derivatives: 23.23 mannitol, 0.86 glucose, 0.21 0.14 no detectable The resulting contained non‐inhibitory levels, allowing direct application without detoxification. As result, yield 18.26 92.3%, respectively, comparable control group (17.32 87.6%). This study addresses critical knowledge gap macroalgae by elucidating performance.
