Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleCharacterization of Fructan Content from Stem Juices of Different Varieties of Agave Atrovirens, Traditionally Used for the Production of Pulque. Production of a Sweetening Syrup by Chemical and Enzymatic ProcessingKaren Gott-Bravo, Arnulfo Pluma-Pluma, Victor Eric López-López et al.Agave atrovirens, the hardiest species of Agave in Mexico, thrives in tough, infertile soils and extreme temperatures across a wide range of altitudes, particularly in impoverished rural areas of Central and Northern Mexico. Its potential for agroindustrial use could offer a pathway to social and economic prosperity for many communities. Traditionally, A. atrovirens is tapped for its sap, known as … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 4 Mar 2025 · 7,670 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleNovel D-Galactose Isomerases from Lactobacillus Strains Isolated from the Sweet Sap of Agave atrovirensMaría Miriam Hernández-Arroyo, Miguel Ángel Plascencia-Espinosa, María Eugenia Hidalgo-Lara et al.D-tagatose is a natural monosaccharide used as a low-calorie sugar substitute in food, beverage and pharmaceutical products. Although it is a rare sugar, it can manufacture by enzymatic isomerization of D-galactose Isomerase (D-GI). In this study, a screening was carried out to search microorganism producing D-GI in aguamiel. A rich selective medium was used in arabinose extracted from gum arabic. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 11 Dec 2018 · 10,238 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnzymatic Bioconversion of Agave Leaves FiberHydrolysis Using Plackett-Burman DesignMiguel A. Medina-Morales, J. C. Contreras-Esquivel, H. De la Garza-Toledo et al.Problem statement: Biofuels production is becoming a key factor to help decrease pollution levels and the dependency of fossil fuels. Cellulose from lignocellulosic biomass is being used as a source of raw material for biofuels production, specifically bioethanol, so many ways to use it for this purpose are being developed. Approach: Cellulose content and enzymatic depolymerization of cellulose was evaluated … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 2 Nov 2011 · 8,128 accessesView PDF Cite
