Sophora Japonica Extract Rutin | Hefei Dielegance Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
Rutin, its name comes from the name of Ruta graveolens, a plant that also contains rutin. In its pure form, its color can vary from yellow to yellow-green. Rutin is a plant pigment (flavonoid) that is found in fruits and vegetables. The major sources of rutin use include buckwheat, Japanese pagoda tree, and Eucalyptus macrorhyncha. Also available in supplement form, rutin contains quercetin.
Rutin was first identified in 1842. At this time it was thought its main function was to reduce excessive bleeding. It wasn't until about 100 years later that its other health effects began to be uncovered.
Rutin, also called rutoside, quercetin-3-rutinoside and sophorin, is a citrus flavonoid glycoside found in the flower bud of Scphora japonica L, It is also present in many other plants and sometimes referred to as Vitamin P, although not strictly a vitamin.
Rutin is the glycoside between the flavonol quercetin and the disaccharide rutinose. Rutin can be created by bonding a disaccharide onto the hydroxyl group of Quercetin. Rutin (quercetin rutinoside), as well as quercitrin, is a glycoside of the flavonoid Quercetin. As such, the chemical structure of both is very similar, with the difference existing in the Hydroxyl functional group.
