This study was performed to investigate the change of chemical components and antioxidant activities in Hizikia fusiformis(Harvey) OKAMURA with blanching times. For chemical composition, the contents of minerals (K, Ca, Na, Mg, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn), vitamins (vitamin C, ${\beta}$-carotene and ${\alpha}$-tocopherol) and total polyphenol were analyzed. The antioxidant activity was determined through free radicals (DPPH radical, superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide) scavenging activity and linoleic acid peroxidation inhibitory activity. As the blanching time increased, the contents of all minerals, vitamin C and total polyphenol decreased. However ${\beta}$-carotene and ${\beta}$-tocopherol were not affected by the blanching time. In addition antioxidant activities decreased with increasing blanching time.
