Currently bioethanol is one of the most studied biofuel worldwide, because it can be a sustainable
alternative for replacing fossil fuel [1]. In the case of Mexico, there has been boosting production in
response to the shortage of fossil fuels nationally and internationally. Sugar cane has been one of the most
used raw materials in the production of bioethanol. Brazil and USA are the world’s largest bioethanol
producers, using sugarcane and corn as the respective feedstocks. In the sugarcane industry, large
amounts of lignocellulosic materials (sugarcane bagasse) are produced during sugar and ethanol
production. Sugarcane bagasse is currently used as a fuel for supplying the energy required for the plant,
while sugarcane trash, in earlier days was burnt to improve the cultivation, is today mostly left in the field
for agricultural purposes [2]. However, there are various raw materials and wastes with a high content of
fermentable sugars that can be evaluated for bioethanol production.
