Maximilian Nierenstein
Maximilian Nierenstein (born 1877 - died 1946) was a professor of biochemistry at the University of Bristol.
He is known for the Nierenstein reaction.
He also studied tannins.[1] He prepared ellagic acid from algarobilla and certain other fruits. He suggested its formation from galloyl-glycine by Penicillium in 1915.[2]
