Abstract

Cheka is the most commonly used traditional food and drink for people who live around Konso and Derashe special woredas. The characterization of carbohydrate, protein and alcohol with estimation of protein and carbohydrate in cheka was done. The result obtained for all tests of alcohol, carbohydrate and proteins is positive result confirming their prescience in cheka. Most of cheka users have a body mass index (BMI) in the normal range which shows the positive impact of cheka, on human health.
