Homoisoflavanones from Agave tequilana Weber.
Three homoisoflavanones were isolated from the "piña" and leaves of Agave tequilana Weber. The compounds were identified as: 5,7-dihydroxy-3-(4-methoxybenzyl)-chroman-4-one (1), 7-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-chroman-4-one (2) and 4'-demethyl-3,9-dihydro-punctatin (3). This is the first phytochemical study carried out to Agave tequilana Weber.
متن کاملMolecular structures of fructans from Agave tequilana Weber var. azul.
Agave plants utilize crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) for CO(2) fixation. Fructans are the principal photosynthetic products generated by agave plants. These carbohydrates are fructose-bound polymers frequently with a single glucose moiety. Agave tequilana Weber var. azul is an economically important CAM species not only because it is the sole plant allowed for tequila production but because ...
متن کاملUtilization of by-products from the tequila industry. Part 2: Potential value of Agave tequilana Weber azul leaves.
The leaves of the agave plant are left in the field after harvesting the heads for tequila production. Different types of agave leaves were isolated, classified, and their content in the total plant determined. The usable fractions were collected and their properties determined. Of the total wet weight of the agave plant, 54% corresponds to the agave head, 32% corresponds to materials which cou...
متن کاملDiversity and structure of landraces of Agave grown for spirits under traditional agriculture: A comparison with wild populations of A. angustifolia (Agavaceae) and commercial plantations of A. tequilana.
Traditional farming communities frequently maintain high levels of agrobiodiversity, so understanding their agricultural practices is a priority for biodiversity conservation. The cultural origin of agave spirits (mezcals) from west-central Mexico is in the southern part of the state of Jalisco where traditional farmers cultivate more than 20 landraces of Agave angustifolia Haw. in agroecosyste...
متن کاملUSING REMOTE SENSING TO SUPPORT DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO IDENTIFY AGAVE (Agave tequilana Weber) CROPS
There are several studies on tequila agave (Agave tequilana Weber variety blue) regarding its physiology, diseases, and environmental conditions. However, there are not documented studies on the use of satellite technology to locate it. The experience reported does not give details on processes, and techniques. Moreover, the validation criteria are not reported, therefore it is not possible mak...
