Prospecting for Energy-Rich Renewable Raw Materials: Agave Leaf Case Study
Fig 2
Agave processing and moisture content.
Whole leaves were crushed, producing juice and wet bagasse fractions (a). These fractions were dried separately to calculate moisture content. Data is presented as percentage of fresh (wet) starting mass (% w/w). The values shown in gray are used to calculate total moisture content. The distribution of leaf fresh mass (% w/w) in A. americana and A. tequilana (b).
