“…The total extractives content of A. durangensis bagasse and L. aegyptica fruit were similar to those reported by other authors who used the same extraction sequences for non-wood lignocellulosic materials. -Hernández et al, 2018). However, using different methods to this work, the total extractives content of the five materials studied is larger than reported both by Scatolino et al (2017) with 26.24% and Hidalgo-Reyes et al (2015) with 5.3% for coffee parchment and bagasse from A. angustiflora, respectively.…”

“…The holocellulose content of A. durangensis bagasse was lower than reported by Hidalgo-Reyes et al (2015) in bagasse of A. angustiflora (82.12%), However, it was higher than A. durangensis leaves (20.3%) (Contreras-Hernández et al, 2018). The holocellulose content of A. durangensis bagasse was similar to A. sisalana bagasse (48.2%) (Lima et al, 2013) and leaves of A. atrovirens Karw (43.5%) (Hernández-Hernández et al, 2016).…”

The particleboard industry faces problems of wood shortage, which has led to the use of non-wood lignocellulosic materials. Furthermore, there is also interest in looking for materials that improve their physical and mechanical properties. The species Luffa aegyptiaca Mill. (fruit), Agave durangensis Gentry (bagasse) and Pennisetum sp. (plant, leaves and stem) could be used in the elaboration of wood-based particleboards. The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of using these materials to produce particleboards in accordance with their chemical composition. Five materials were studied, A. durangensis (bagasse), L. aegyptiaca (fruit) and Pennisetum sp. (whole plant, leaves and stem). Extractives, holocellulose, Runkel lignin and ash content was determined. The pH of the fibers was also measured and a microanalysis of the ash was performed. ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests were carried out, in addition Tukey and Dunn tests for group comparison were performed. Pennisetum sp. leaves presented the highest total extractives and ash content, while L. aegyptiaca fruit and A. durangensis bagasse had the highest both content of holocellulose and Runkel lignin respectively. The lowest pH was presented by the L. aegyptiaca fruit, while the highest was from the Pennisetum sp. stem. The element with the greatest presence in the five materials was potassium, except in A. durangensis bagasse showing calcium. L. aegyptiaca fruit has better characteristics to be used in particleboards with greater mechanical resistance because of its higher holocellulose content. However, Pennisetum sp. (plant, leaves and stem) could be used to make particleboards with high resistance to water absorption.

“…This type of enzyme activity has already been reported in other microorganisms such as Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus, and Penicillium (Huitron et al 2008;Flores-Gallegos et al 2015;Rawat et al 2015). And it is currently reported in native strains of Agave durangensis residues (Contreras-Hernández et al 2017). Filamentous fungi are known for being excellent producers of industrial enzymes (Li et al 2014;Quintanilla et al 2015).…”

“…Agave durangensis Gentry is a plant belonging to this family that is used for the production of Mexican alcoholic beverages (Tequila and Mezcal), a process that generates various agroindustrial waste products. Approximately 1 million tons of Agave durangensis are produced and processed annually, generating large quantities of agricultural waste, of which about 1200 tons are Agave leaves; these are considered to have potential as agroindustrial residue (Contreras-Hernández et al 2017). The waste leaves present a high content of cellulose (38 to 50%), whereas the lignin is 15 to 25% and the hemicellulose is 23% to 32% (Vieira et al 2002;Sun et al 2016).…”

Twelve strains of fungi from residues of Agave durangensis were isolated and identified by molecular techniques for evaluation of their hydrolytic enzyme production capability. A proportion (50%) of the fungal strains belonged to the Aspergillus genus and the other strains used belonged to Alternaria, Neurospora crassa, Mucor sp, Rhizopus sp., Botryosphaeria sp., and Scytalidium sp. The isolated strains were evaluated for their potential to produce extracellular enzymes using different substrates (cellulose, xylan, inulin, Agave fructans, starch, and tannic acid). It was observed that most of the tested strains were capable of simultaneously secreting cellulases, xylanases, inulinases, fructanases, and laccases. Botryosphaeria sp. ITD-G6 was selected for its evaluation in the production of inulinase, using different substrates. Showing high inulinase activities (5.22 U / mL for Agave waste, 4.37 U/ mL for inulin and 5.00 U / mL for Agave fructans).
