Emhlabeni wezithako zezempilo zemvelo, i-rutin ithola ukuqashelwa ngokushesha njenge-phytochemical enamandla. Lisuselwe egameni lesiLatini elithi 'ruta', elisho 'rue', le nhlanganisela ibigxile ezifundweni eziningi zesayensi ngenxa yezinzuzo zayo ezimangalisayo zezempilo.

I-Rutin, eyaziwa nangokuthi yi-芸香苷or芦丁, iyinhlanganisela eyenzeka ngokwemvelo etholakala ezimbalini zamathanga. Kuyingxenye ebalulekile ekugcineni impilo enhle yenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi. Umsebenzi oyinhloko wenhlanganisela ukuvimbela ukopha kanye nokwenza ngcono ukujikeleza kwegazi, kusize ekugcineni ukusebenza kwenhliziyo okuqinile nokunempilo.

Inqubo yokuhlukanisa nokuhlanza i-rutin iyinkimbinkimbi futhi idinga amasu athuthukile njenge-High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Le nhlanganisela iya ngokuya isetshenziswa ezithasiselweni zokudla njengoba inezinzuzo eziningi zezempilo, kusukela ekuvikelweni kwenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi kuya ekuthuthukisweni kokuzivikela komzimba.

Kuye kwenziwa ucwaningo oluningi mayelana nezakhiwo zokwelapha ze-rutin, okuqhubeka nokuqinisekisa izinzuzo zayo zezempilo. Kuye kwaboniswa ukuthi kunezindawo zokulwa nokuvuvukala, okwenza kube nenzuzo ekulawuleni izimo ezifana nesifo samathambo. Ukwengeza, i-rutin itholakale inezakhiwo eziqinile ze-antioxidant, ilwa nama-radicals mahhala futhi inciphisa ukucindezeleka okwenziwe nge-oxidative. Lokhu kungasiza ekuvimbeleni izifo ezingamahlalakhona njengomdlavuza nesifo senhliziyo.

Ikusasa libukeka lithembisa i-rutin njengoba abantu abaningi beqaphela izinzuzo zayo zezempilo. Njengoba ucwaningo luqhubeka nokujula ezimpahleni zale nhlanganisela emangalisayo, singalindela ukubona izicelo eziningi ze-rutin emkhakheni wezempilo nemithi yemvelo.

Ekugcineni, i-rutin iyi-phytochemical ephawulekayo enikeza izinzuzo eziningi zezempilo. Ikhono layo lokuvimbela ukopha, ukuthuthukisa ukujikeleza kwegazi, nokusekela impilo yenhliziyo kuyenza ibe ithuluzi elinamandla ekugcineni impilo enhle yenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi. Ngocwaningo oluqhubekayo kanye nokuqwashisa okwandayo, i-rutin ngokuqinisekile izodlala indima ebalulekile ekuthuthukiseni inhlalakahle jikelele kanye nokuvimbela izifo ezingapheli eminyakeni ezayo.
