What
is Rutin? Rutin,
also called rutoside, quercetin-3-O-rutinoside and sophorin, is the glycoside
combining the flavonol quercetin and the disaccharide rutinose
(α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→6)-β-D-glucopyranose). It is a citrus flavonoid found
in a wide variety of plants including citrus.

Occurances of Rutin Rutin is a citrus flavonoid glycoside found in many
plants including buckwheat, the leaves and petioles of Rheum species, and
asparagus. Tartary buckwheat seeds have been found to contain more rutin (about
0.8–1.7% dry weight) than common buckwheat seeds (0.01% dry weight). Rutin is
one of the primary flavonols found in ‘clingstone’ peaches. It is also found in
green tea infusions. Rutin is one of the phenolic compounds found in the
invasive plant species Carpobrotus edulis and contributes to the antibacterial
properties of the plant. Its name comes from the name of Ruta graveolens, a
plant that also contains rutin. Various citrus fruit peels contain 32 to 49
mg/g of flavonoids expressed as rutin equivalents. Citrus leaves contain rutin
at concentrations of 11 and 7 g/kg in orange and lime trees respectively.
