Abstract

The utilization of agave agro-industrial residues in Mexico is a sustainable strategy to reduce environmental impact and generate added value. In 2021, 1,776,720.56 tons of these residues were reported, 50% of which were residual biomass. Their feasibility as a substrate for cultivating the edible mushroom Hericium erinaceus was evaluated, with Agave salmiana (25%) combined with corn cob proving the most effective. This application not only reduces pollution but also provides an additional income source for agro-industrial producers, promoting economic development and sustainable bioconversion.

Author Biography

  • Alejandra Rendón-Benjumea, Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila

    Eng. Alejandra Rendón-Benjumea is a master's student in Food Science and Technology at the Autonomous University of Coahuila, Mexico, supported by the 2023-2 National Scholarship for Graduate Studies from CONAHCYT. She is a member of the Functional Foods and Nutrition research group.

    A graduate of the National University of Colombia, she obtained her degree in Agroindustrial Engineering through the national scholarship "Mejor Saber 11: Ser Pilo Paga 2." Her current research focuses on developing strategies and applying emerging technologies for the production of functional foods, utilizing native residues from the agricultural industry of the Mexican semi-desert. This work highlights her commitment to sustainability and innovation in the agroindustry.

    Throughout her academic journey, Eng. Rendón-Benjumea has published four scientific articles and conducted research that has strengthened her expertise. Her passion for academia and scientific dissemination is reflected in her active participation in the academic community through workshops, conferences, symposia, and short courses.

    Her main research areas include the valorization of agro-industrial residues, functional food production, and bioprocesses, with a focus on sustainability and the circular bioeconomy.
