Biological Activity

1,1,1,1-Kestohexaose is an inulin-type oligofructan with a degree of polymerization of 6, serving as a primary storage carbohydrate in cool-season grasses such as crested wheatgrass. Produced via enzymatic fructan-fructan 1-fructosyltransferase pathways, it functions in carbohydrate partitioning, energy storage, and membrane stabilization during cold and drought stress. Accumulation of this DP6 fructan regulates cellular osmotic potential, supporting plant metabolic adaptation and stress tolerance under adverse environmental conditions.
