Total twenty one amino acids were found in the dri ed sample, methionine is the major constituent and followed by leucine, iso-leucine, glutamic acid and serine. In the case of fatty acids, six components were identified. Palmit ic acids are found to be the major constituent. As a result, this present study results showed that Turbinaria conoid es in the Mandapam could be utilized as functional ingrediental for the valuable nutritional properties for seafood industries.
