Abstract
Agave salmiana is a maguey endemic to Mexico, its main product is pulque, a fermented mead. When the mead is exhausted, the maguey leaves are used as cattle feed. The objective was to prepare and evaluate extracts of maguey leaves, for which hot water and three stages of leaves were used, unscraped (SR), scraped (RM) and completely scraped (RC). Extracts were quantified for phenolic compounds content, ascorbic acid, antioxidant capacity (DPPH) and chelating activity, during their preparation and up to 8 months of storage. The phenolic compounds content (2913.33±277.9 mg GA/L), ascorbic acid (758.02±56.57 mg AA/L) and antioxidant capacity (930.7±44.09 µmol TE/L) increased during the elaboration of extracts. A 12.6-16.4% of dietary fiber was quantified in extracts. In addition, phenolic compounds (kaempferol and quercetin) were identified in the 3 extracts produced. During storage, phenolic compounds and their antioxidant capacity increased at the end of the eighth month in RM and RC extracts. It is concluded that the leaves of the maguey Agave salmiana can be used to obtain aqueous extracts rich in bioactive compounds with antioxidant capacity and dietary fiber, substances involved in the treatment and prevention of diseases.
