|Section2= |Section6= }} Sinistrin is a naturally occurring sugar polymer or polysaccharide, also known as polyfructosane. It belongs to the fructan group, like inulin. As it is the case with similar substances, such as fructans or inulin, sinistrin acts as an energy storage molecule in plants. == Discovery, history, and manufacture == Already in 1879 Schmiedeberg managed to isolate this carbohydrate from the bulb of the red squill (''Urginea maritima'').〔〔''Biopolymers, Polysaccharides II'', Wiley-VCH, 2002, ISBN 3-527-30227-1.〕 He named the substance ’sinistrin’, from the Latin word 'sinister' for left, according to its optical rotation activities. Sinistrin was also found in mucines of edible snails (''Helix pomatia'') by Hammarsten in 1885.〔M. Geldmacher-Mallinckrodt und F. May: ''(Die Polysaccharide der Weinbergschnecke II. Die Mucin-Polysaccharide der Eiweißdrüse. 1. Mitteil.: Die Identität von Galaktogen und Sinistrin. )'' Hoppe-Seyler´s Zeitschrift für physiologische Chemie. Band 307, Heft 1-2, S. 191–201, ISSN (Online) 1437-4315, ISSN (Print) 0018-4888. .〕 Today sinistrin is industrially manufactured out of the bulb of red squill by various extraction and purification steps. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sinistrin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
