The present study aimed to conduct proximate composition analysis on seaweed Sargassum ilicifolium collected from the Mandapam region coast, Rameshwaram, Tamil Nadu, India. A result of seaweed Sargassum ilicifolium was followed. Moisture content was present (13.7% DW), ash (20.38% DW), protein (18.67% DW), lipid content (3.95% DW), crude fiber (18.05% DW), carbohydrate (36.33% DW), and total dietary fiber (3.92% DW). The composition of monosaccharides present is fucose (24.04) %, mannose (0.51%), galactose (0.69%), Xylose 0.92% and rhamnose (0.47%. Total carotenoids: 47.13 µg/ 100 g DW; chlorophyll-A: 157.19 µg/100 g DW; chlorophyll-B: 120.14 µg/100 g DW; Iodine 248.72 µg/100 g DW. Phytochemical analysis of steriods, phenols, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, and glycosides shows that all components are present. Mineral contents are Na (8592.62 Mg/100g DW), K (1849.17 Mg/100g DW), Mg (227.64 Mg/100g DW), Ca (1085.71 Mg/ 100g DW), Fe (307.41 Mg/100g DW), Se (5.1 Mg/100g DW), Mn (4.68 Mg/100g DW), P (19192 Mg/100g DW), Na/K ratio (4.97 Mg/100g DW), and total cation (34707.09 Mg/100g DW) observed.
