Rutin NEW

Rutin is a flavonol compound quercetin rutin, which is a kind of flavonoid compound extracted from plants. It exists in rutin, Tartary buckwheat, locust tree bud, sorbus leaf, tomato stem, leaf and seed shell, etc. About 3% of dried buckwheat when it is about to bloom, jujube, hawthorn, ginkgo biloba, Chinese medlar, mother wort, bupleurum, summer hay, aloe vera, and giblet. The content of SophorajaponicaL in the flower bud of Sophora japonical can reach more than 20%, which is the main raw material for extracting rutin in Chinese pharmaceutical industry. Rutin can be decomposed by adding water in case of strong acidity and alkalinity. It is unstable in color in alkaline foods and has antioxidant capacity. Ethanol can improve the light resistance of the pigment preparation, prevent the gradual disappearance or change of fragrance, and can improve its antioxidant capacity when combined with vitamin E. It has the effect of reducing capillary permeability and brittleness, maintaining and restoring the normal elasticity of capillary. It is used for prevention and treatment of cerebral hemorrhage, hypertension, diabetes, retinal hemorrhage, purpura and acute hemorrhagic nephritis. It has a good anti-radiation and anti-free radical effect on the skin, and has a strong absorption effect on ultraviolet rays and X-rays. As a natural sunscreen, adding 10% rutin can increase the absorption rate of ultraviolet rays to 98%. It has obvious scavenging effect of reactive oxygen species.

Application

1. Food coloring (like lemon yellow); Antioxidants; A nutritional supplement. Mainly used in cold drinks, beverages, pastries, meat products, aquatic products and so on.

2. Vitamins. It has the effect of reducing capillary permeability and brittleness, maintaining and restoring the normal elasticity of capillary. It is used for the prevention and treatment of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage, diabetic retinal hemorrhage and hemorrhagic purpura, and is also used as a food antioxidant and pigment.

3. Anti-inflammatory effect; Vitamin P-like effect, can maintain the resistance of blood vessels, reduce its permeability, reduce brittleness and so on, has the lipid removal effect on the liver with fat infiltration, and the combination of glutathione has more obvious lipid removal effect; Antiviral action and inhibiting aldose reductase action.

Physiological effect

Rutin is a kind of vitamin P, which is a glycoside of dehydroflavone. It is a hydrogen transmitter that may be involved in the action of oxidoreductase in the body, which can affect the activity of the thyroid gland and protect adrenaline from oxidation. In the body can enhance the role of vitamin C and promote its accumulation in the body. It can maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, reduce their permeability and reduce their brittleness. The mechanism is that hyaluronic acid is the matrix component in the interstitial cell of the capillary wall. When hyaluronic acid is hydrolyzed by hyaluronic acid enzyme, the resistance of the capillary is reduced, the permeability and brittleness are increased, and it is easy to cause bleeding. Rutin can inhibit hyaluronidase and prevent hyaluronic acid hydrolysis, thereby enhancing the resistance of capillaries and reducing their permeability and brittleness. Rutin can also promote cell proliferation, prevent hemagglutination, and diuretic, cough, blood lipid, blood pressure, protect ulcer surface, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects.
