“…Agave plants are perennial evergreen xerophytes containing calcium oxalate crystals at the mesophyll (Blunden et al, 1973). Chávez-Guerrero et al (2010) concluded that Agave salmiana bagasse is an important source of calcium compounds after its incineration. Calcium requirements of bovines have been established between 0.18 and 1.04%, while sheep requirements are between 0.21 and 0.51% (Maynard et al, 1981).…”

“…Agave bagasse can be used as livestock food, construction material, and for recycled paper elaboration [86], as well as a substrate for edible fungi growth [87]. However, most of it is incinerated, which generates large amounts of ash that can contaminate rivers, bodies of water and damage flora and fauna [88]. Table 3 shows that agave bagasse has a higher cellulose proportion, compared to main lignocellulosic biomass used for bioethanol production.…”

“…Agave bagasse is a by-product generated in the mezcal industry [47]. Mezcal is an alcoholic beverage and it is used in other products such as food and candies [48].…”

“…The agave wastes (roots, leaves, bagasse and vinasse) represent almost 50% of the plant weight [49]. Usually, after being dried and burned, a byproduct is generated in the form of residual ash, which is polluting and is called agave biomass ash [47] ( Fig. 8).…”
