The present research concerned with the analytical studies on some shrimp pastes from Dawei district,Tanintharyi region. Physicochemical properties of four shrimp pastes were collected from Kyauk Kha Mauk, Nyaung Zin, Ti Zit and Kan Pa Ni, Dawei District of Tanintharyi region. In this work, moisture, ash, protein and fat contents were determined by using Oven Drying, Ashing, Macro Kjeldahl and Soxhlet Extraction methods respectively. These measurements are essential to control and maintain products and quality in manufacturing and trade. The salt contents in Kyauk Kha Mauk ngapi, Nyaung Zin ngapi, Ti Zit ngapi and Kan Pa Ni ngapi were 32.56%, 24.24%, 30.48% and 28.40%, respectively. The determinations of dyes were done by Wool-dyeing method. According to EDXRF analysis, Cl, Ca, K, S, Fe, Sr, Br, Cu, Zn and Mn were detected in some shrimp pastes. Quantitative determinations of some minerals such as Ca, Mg, Cu, Cd, Mn and Zn were carried out by using AAS method
