Fermented Saccharina Analyses

This dataset describes the outcome of fermentations of S.latissima with lacic acid bacteria under different conditions. 

It is a full factorial design matrix with the following factors and levels:

• Inoculant (Column B): SiloSolve, PigStabilizer, TopSil Max
• Additional mannitol fermenting organisms L.rhamnosus + L.paracasei: yes/no  (Column C)
• Addition of oxygen scavengers VegaSafePro01+VegaSafePro03: Yes/No  (Column D)
• Harvest season: Spring/Fall  (Column E)
• Washing and blanching: yes/no  (Column F)
• Storage time of fermented seaweed: 2 months/4 months  (Column G)

The following analytical results are described:

pH (Column H)

• lactate (Column J)
• alanine  (Column K)
• butyrate (Column L)
• acetate (Column M)
• formate (Column N)
