  abstract = {{T}his study evaluated the nutritional composition and potential food applications of marine macroalgae from the {T}adjourah {G}ulf ({D}jibouti), including brown ({P}adina pavonica, {S}argassum ilicifolium, {S} . latifolium , {T}urbinaria decurrens), green ({U}lva clathrata), and red ({H}ypnea musciformis) species. {A}nalyses focused on their proximate composition, bioactive phenolics, mineral and trace elements, heavy metal content, and recommended daily {A}llowance ({RDA}). {H}ypnea and {U}lva were rich in carbohydrates, while {T}urbinaria exhibited high amino acid levels. {P}adina stood out for its high chlorophyll a, c, carotenoids, phenolic content, and associated antioxidant activities. {I}t also provided significant amounts of essential minerals, with {RDA} > 15% for calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, manganese, copper, and zinc, positioning it as a valuable source for nutritional supplementation. {A}ll species complied with regulatory standards for heavy metal content, ensuring their safety for food consumption. {S}ensory evaluations highlighted their culinary potential in traditional dishes like doughnuts (seaweed flour) and tartare (seaweed flakes), with {H}ypnea, {U}lva, {P}adina, and {S}. ilicifolium showing promising results. {T}hese findings positioned {D}jiboutian seaweeds as novel ingredients in traditional and modern food recipes and contributed to developing new supplements, recipes, and functional foods to diversify food in {D}jibouti. {M}oreover, it could strengthen food security in {D}jibouti, where addressing nutritional challenges is critical.},
