Abstract
Agavins (fructans from the agave plant) are used for their technological and prebiotic properties in developing functional foods. In this study, four extraction methods were evaluated: ultrasound (U), microwave (M), simultaneous ultrasound-microwave (UM), and heat treatment (HT). Isomers with a degree of polymerization (DP) > 10, as well as a significant concentration of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) were identified. The yield obtained by UM (72%) was similar to the other methods; however, the extraction time was shorter (5 min). In U, M, and HT the yields were 86, 76, and 85% in 35, 30, and 180 min, respectively. In addition, FTIR spectra showed evidence of regions corresponding to fatty acids and carbohydrates. Therefore, using UM to obtain agavins is a more ecological and faster process.

Abstract
Fructans are a polydisperse mixture of fructose polymers generally bound to a glucose molecule, in recent years, interest in their use has grown, either as a potential ingredient in functional foods or for their technological properties. The diversity of its applications lies in its structure and origin. Until now, the scientific approach has been more focused on inulin-type fructans and not so much on the effect of those of mixed branched structure as agave fructans. These have a complex structure with the presence of β (2 - 1) and β (2 - 6) bonds that give it prebiotic properties. In this context, a review is made of the general processes of extraction of agave fructans, as well as their technological functionality in the obtaining of base structures for the development of food products.
