Agave, commonly known as “maguey” is an important part of the Mexican tradition and
economy, and is mainly used for the production of alcoholic beverages, such as tequila …

Fast exhaustion of fossil fuel stocks, as well as problems allied with air pollution, has created
a worldwide attention in searching for alternative, renewable lignocellulosic macromolecule …

Background Agave-based alcoholic beverage companies generate thousands of tons of
solid residues per year in Mexico. These agave residues might be used for biofuel …

This work reports an improved process of enzymatic saccharification on Agave salmiana
leaves and its conversion into bioethanol comparing strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae …

In this work, series of sequential acid-alkaline and enzymatic saccharification treatments
were applied on lignocellulosic biomass of Agave salmiana leaves in order to evaluate its …

Agave bagasse is a promising and interesting raw material for the development of second-
generation biorefineries. However, the intrinsic resistance (recalcitrance) of lignocellulose …

The present work addressed the conversion of Agave salmiana leaf juice to ethanol by
consolidated bioprocessing (CBP). CBP was tested at 30, 35, and 40 ºC and compared with …

In recent years, Agave has shown its potential as a bioenergy feedstock with a higher land
productivity (up to 42 ton/ha year) than traditional feedstocks. Other features are its …

The recent research has been focussed on the alternative renewable energy sources.
Lignocellulosic biomass has emerged as a potential alternate for biofuels, industrial …

Second-generation ethanol production by separate hydrolysis and fermentation (SHF)
currently remains economically unviable, and thus more profitable alternatives are being …
