Abstract
Glucofructans have been isolated from the onionAllium suvorovii Rgl., and their qualitative chemical compositions and the nature of the bonds between the fructofuranose residues have been determined. It has been established that glucofructan-II is a compound with low toxicity and exhibits a pronounced hypolipidemic activity in relation both to intact animals and to animals with experimental hyperlipidemia and atherosclerosis.
