ANAEROBIC CELLULAR RESPIRATION TEST OF SEA-CROP
Feb, 2005


THE TEST:

Water , sugar and yeast were placed in sealed and vented containers and the volume of off-gassed CO2 was measured against time.

A comparison was made between the treated mixture and the untreated control.

THE APPARATUS:

Stoppered 500ml vacuum flasks were used for the fermentation vessels. PVC tubing was attached to the venting tubeulation  and the open end was placed under inverted, water filled 400ml beakers that were contained in water filled 2,000ml beakers.

THE METHOD:

250ml of water was placed in each fermentation vessel. To this, in each vessel, one tablespoon of sugar(sucrose) and one quarter teaspoon of  common baking yeast was added. Nothing further was added to the control. The treated test sample received an addition of three drops of Sea-Crop.

After the first 24 hours of fermentation the off-gassed CO2 was measured and showed  volumes of  225CC  for the control and 300CC for the treated sample. The off-gassing for the treated sample was 33% greater than the control during the first 24 hours.

CO2 produced during the next 16 hours was measured to be 370CC for the control and 425CC for the treated sample which gave a 15% greater volume for the treated sample.

CONCLUSIONS:

1. Increased cellular respiration in the treated sample produced more CO2 than the control during the first 40 hours of fermentation.

2. The lag phase of yeast reproduction was shortened significantly for the treated sample.
