Abstract

In Mexico, the Agave plant is an important economic and cultural resource, representing great native biodiversity due to the taxonomic diversity of the species within its territory, such as the Agave angustifolia Haw. Agave plants contain sugars and fructooligosacharides (FOS) as reserve polymers with special characteristics that allow diversification of its use in foods (García-Mendoza 2002; Madrigal and Sangronis 2007).
