Brief Introduction:
Rutin is a bioflavonoid. Pure rutin is yellow or yellow-green colored needle-shaped crystal. Rutin is a flavonol glycoside comprised of the quercetin and the disaccharide rutinose (rhamnose and glucose). Rutin is found in many plants, especially the buckwheat plant fagopyrum esculentum moench, the flour of which is used to make pancakes. Other rich dietary sources of rutin include black tea and apple peels. Many, if not most, of rutin's possible activities can be accounted for, in part, by rutin's antioxidant activity. Rutin is a phenolic antioxidant and has been demonstrated to scavenge superoxide radicals.
