摘要

Rutin is a flavonoid glycoside found in many plants. It is used as medication and an ingredient of numerous multivitamin preparations and herbal remedies due to its biomedical activity. The present paper deals with transformation processes of rutin during its extraction by methanol, ethanol, and their aqueous mixtures from Aronia melanocarpa (M.) E. and Sambucus nigra L. fruits, Hypericum perforatum L. herb, and Tussilago farfara L. leaves, known as ones of the most riches in rutin plant materials. It has been established that the transformation degree of rutin during its extraction depends not only on extraction time and extractant type but also, to a high degree, on the plant matrix type. Differences in the degree of rutin transformation are influenced by the matrix components in the examined plants. The reported results are particularly important for researchers investigating plant metabolism and looking for new plant components.
