Development of research with sisal (Agave sisalana) waste.pptVIP

Sisal waste toxicity Acid precipitated from sisal juice showed: Spermicide action on rats if ingested. Ecotoxicity is considered high (superior of oil refinery, so not recommended to discharge into rivers. Not mutagenic in dosages up to 100 mg/kg, superior dosages was not tested. We need to test Liquid from Mucilage and Dried precipitate toxicity.
