“…That is why the majority of other attributes are considered by farmers besides size and year count. This result was in line with the reports of Hunduma and Ashenafi (2011) [4] ; Semman et al (2017) [6] who stated mature enset was identified by locallyestablished maturity signs, such as size of central shoot, appearance of inflorescence and exposure of the corm (Figure 2). Concerning about enset harvesting, all sampled respondents used traditional enset harvesting methods (Table 2).…”

“…The plant is also known by its versatility and resilience habit to combat harsh environmental conditions where other plants cannot exist. Enset supports more than 20% of Ethiopian people, predominantly societies found in South and Southwestern part (Semman et al, 2017) [6] . All plant parts are valuable as a source of food, feed, fiber, soil fertility protection and even moderating micro-climate of the area.…”

Enset, grown worldwide despite purposive production and consumption, is only in Ethiopia where it supports as staple and co-staple food for about 20% of Ethiopia people mostly in south and southwestern parts. The study aimed on enset processing and post-harvest techniques in enset producing areas covering Jimma and Keffa zones and Yem special districts which has participated about 128 farmers. In the area, participants portrayed before harvesting matured enset identified using different criteria such as pseudostem size, leaf and leaf sheath color change, year counting from the start of transplanting to harvesting, flowering and expose of corm stated by majority of respondents (43.75%). Additionally, all respondents (100%) responded the traditional enset harvesting/processing method is tiresome and cumbersome. The processed enset is stored for fermentation either in pit lined with leaf and leaf sheath (87.20%) or above ground in wrapped leaf and leaf sheath (12.80%) depending on harvesting season. The respondents also added traditional fermentation enhancer to hasten fermentation and shorten time of fermentation. From the study, the critical problem identified for this indigenous crop upon which people depended was the non-modified processing technique which is time consuming, tiresome why new generation neglecting enset production despite its multimerit calling for multidisciplinary and integration research to find consistent solution.

“…Similar total ash content was reported by other studies (Fanta & Neela, 2019). Higher percentages of ash content was observed in this study as compared to the study reported by (Bekele, 2015;Semman et al, 2019;Urga et al, 1997).…”

“…The moisture content of Kocho varied from 53.79% in T3 to 57.63% in T2. Semman ( 2019 ) and his colleagues reported a similar range across different clones of Kocho and bulla products. The current study showed the highest percentage of moisture content was observed in T1 (57.07%) and T4 (56.19%) of fermentation times.…”

This study focused on determining selected proximate compositions, such as moisture content, ash content, crude fibre content, and crude fat content, of kocho and bulla enset products collected from Bechi, Fide, Yeki, Zinki, Addis Alem, and Korcha kebeles of Yeki woreda. Besides, heavy metals such as iron, copper, manganese, zinc, and lead have been analyzed. The result showed that all proximate compositions analyzed agree with other conducted researches, except moisture content because of heavy rainfall in Yeki woreda. On the other hand, the results obtained for iron and zinc were higher than the permissible limit set by international standards, while that of manganese was slightly higher than the standard limit. On the other hand, the results obtained for copper were below the permissible limit set, while lead was not detected in all samples. Therefore, the investigated kocho and bulla products can provide an appreciable amount of analyzed minerals.
