Sinopsis

Once again, CIATEJ (Centro de Investigación y Asistencia en Tecnología y Diseño del Estado de Jalisco, A.C.) brings a new edition of Integral and Sustainable use of the Agave that consists of the most recent advances in scientific and technological research around the agave genus. The research reported in this book is the result of the effort and the scientific interests of researchers working in México and other latitudes around the world. In these lines, the sponsorship of CONACyT-México, CIATEJ, ADESUR, and AGARED is highly appreciated.

This work is divided into five major topics: 1. Scientific trends on Agave (nine chapters); 2. Science and technology of Agave beverages and other derivatives (six chapters); 3. Biological effects of Agave fructans and other by-products (six chapters); 4. Industrial processing of Agave wastes and subproducts (six chapters); and 5. Social and ethnobotanical aspects (four chapters).
