Wet chemistry, mid-infrared spectroscopy, and near-infrared spectroscopy data, Ecklonia radiata, New Zealand, 2019-2021

Wet chemistry, mid-infrared spectroscopy, and near-infrared spectroscopy data collected for the kelp Ecklonia radiata in Northern New Zealand from 2019 to 2021 as described in Nepper-Davidsen et al. (submitted). All measurements were done on milled freeze dried material, and wet chemistry measurements include content of nitrogen, carbon, sulfur, ash, phenols, glucose, alginate, guluronic acid, mannuronic acid, fucose, mannose, galactose, and xylose. Data include 162 calibration samples which were sampled from 12 different sites and 12 different months and 24 validation samples.
