Agronomic traits, after-postharvest treatments and in vitro fermentation of Moringa accessions

This data is used for statistical analyses in a thesis titled 'Influence of accessions, metabolite ion features, storage and processing conditions on efficacy of Moringa plant extracts to inhibit enteric methane emission'. 
The data have been organized into four different study chapters in the form of Excel workbooks and spreadsheets. Chapter 2 data contain the processed summary of agronomic traits collected in the field at five months of transplanting, in vitro fermentation characteristics (total gas, methane, in vitro organic matter digestibility and different ratios) of E. curvula hay incubated with extracts of these accessions, total phenolics and total flavonoids obtained in the studied 12 Moringa accessions. Chapter 3 processed summary data including in vitro total gas, methane, in vitro organic matter digestibility and different ratios recorded from E. curvula hay incubated with extracts of 12 samples of the selected accessions (A1, A2, A3 and A11) for metabolomics study for 48 hours. This chapter also contains metabolite ion feature intensity data obtained in the negative and positive ion mode detector of Ultra–performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. 
Chapter 4 is the in vitro fermentation characteristics (total gas, methane, in vitro organic matter digestibility, volatile fatty acids i.e. total, propionic, acetate, butyrate, other VFAs and different ratios of the fermentation parameters) obtained from E. curvula hay incubated with binary cocktails of Moringa oleifera accessions extracts (A3 and A11) mixed in various proportions. Furthermore, chapter 5 data contain the in vitro fermentation characteristics (total gas, methane, in vitro organic matter digestibility, and different ratios of these fermentation parameters) of E. curvula hay incubated with extracts after treating the Moringa leaves or powder under different postharvest processing (i.e. different drying method, temperature and extraction solvent) and storage conditions (i.e different temperatures and storage light). This chapter also has the data of total flavonoids and total phenolics contents recorded from the Moringa extracts after postharvest treatments.

本数据集旨在为题为《Moringa植物提取物抑制肠道甲烷排放功效的影响：品种、代谢物离子特征、储存及加工条件研究》的论文提供统计分析依据。数据已整理为四个不同的研究章节，以Excel工作簿和表格的形式呈现。第二章数据包含在移植五个月后，在田间收集的农艺性状处理汇总、E. curvula干草与这些品种提取物共培养的体外发酵特性（总气体、甲烷、体外有机物消化率和不同比例）以及研究12个Moringa品种中获得的总酚类和总黄酮。第三章的数据为处理汇总，包括从12个选定的品种（A1、A2、A3和A11）的提取物共培养的E. curvula干草中记录的体外总气体、甲烷、体外有机物消化率和不同比例，这些数据用于为期48小时的代谢组学研究。该章节还包含了在超高效液相色谱-质谱联用仪的阴离子和阳离子模式下获得的代谢物离子特征强度数据。第四章提供了E. curvula干草与不同比例混合的Moringa oleifera品种提取物二元混合物（A3和A11）共培养的体外发酵特性（总气体、甲烷、体外有机物消化率、挥发性脂肪酸，包括总挥发性脂肪酸、丙酸、乙酸、丁酸、其他挥发性脂肪酸以及发酵参数的不同比例）。此外，第五章数据包含了对Moringa叶片或粉末进行不同产后加工（即不同的干燥方法、温度和提取溶剂）及储存条件（即不同的温度和储存光照）处理后，与提取物共培养的E. curvula干草的体外发酵特性（总气体、甲烷、体外有机物消化率以及这些发酵参数的不同比例）。该章节还记录了经过产后处理后的Moringa提取物中的总黄酮和总酚类含量。
