In this research, the fruit samples (Watermelon, Apple, Orange and Pineapple) were collected from BagoMyoma Market, Bago Division. Nutritional values and mineral contents present in collected fruit samples were determined. For the nutritional value investigation, moisture content, ash content and protein content were determined. The observed values indicated that the moisture content of all fruit samples were very high. The highest value of moisture content (91.5 %) was found in Watermelon sample. The ash contents of the fruit samples on wet basic were found to be 0.23 %, 0.25 %, 0.63 % and 1.82 % for Watermelon, Apple, Orange and Pineapple, respectively. The highest value of ash content (1.82 %) was found in Pineapple. The protein content of the fruit samples were determined by Lowry’s method. The protein contents of the fruits on wet basic were found to be 0.59 g/100g, 0.39 g/100g, 0.87 g/100g and 0.49 mg/100g for Watermelon, Apple, Orange and Pineapple, respectively.
