Ehlabathini lezongezo zempilo yendalo, i-rutin ifumana ngokukhawuleza ukuqatshelwa njenge-phytochemical enamandla. Ithatyathwe kwigama lesiLatini elithi 'ruta', elithetha 'rue', le khompawundi ibiye yagxininiswa kwizifundo ezininzi zesayensi ngenxa yeenzuzo zayo ezimangalisayo zempilo.

I-Rutin, ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-芸香苷or芦丁, yinxalenye yendalo efumaneka kwiintyatyambo zethanga. Lilungu elibalulekileyo ekugcineni impilo yentliziyo. Umsebenzi ophambili wekhompawundi kukuthintela ukopha kunye nokuphucula ukujikeleza kwegazi, inceda ekugcineni ukusebenza kwentliziyo eyomeleleyo nesempilweni.

Inkqubo yokwahlula kunye nokucoca i-rutin intsonkothile kwaye ifuna ubuchule obuphezulu obufana ne-High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Le khompawundi isetyenziswa ngakumbi kwizongezo zokutya njengoko ineenzuzo ezininzi zempilo, ukusukela ekukhuselweni kwentliziyo nokuphucula ukusebenza kwamajoni omzimba.

Uphononongo oluninzi lwenziwe kwiipropathi zonyango ze-rutin, ziqinisekisa ngakumbi iinzuzo zayo zempilo. Kuye kwaboniswa ukuba kunezixhobo ezichasayo, okwenza kube luncedo ekulawuleni iimeko ezifana nesifo samathambo. Ukongezelela, i-rutin ifunyenwe inezinto ezinamandla ze-antioxidant, ukulwa nama-radicals amahhala kunye nokunciphisa uxinzelelo lwe-oxidative. Oku kunokunceda ekuthinteleni izifo ezingapheliyo ezifana nomhlaza kunye nesifo senhliziyo.

Ikamva likhangeleka lithembisa i-rutin njengoko abantu abaninzi besazi ngeenzuzo zayo zempilo. Njengoko uphando luqhubeka nokungena nzulu kwiipropati zale khompawundi imangalisayo, sinokulindela ukubona izicelo ezininzi ze-rutin kwicandelo lempilo yendalo kunye namayeza.

Ekugqibeleni, i-rutin yi-phytochemical ephawulekayo enika uluhlu lweenzuzo zempilo. Amandla ayo okuthintela ukopha, ukuphucula ukujikeleza kwegazi, kunye nokuxhasa impilo yentliziyo yenza kube sisixhobo esinamandla ekugcineni impilo entle ye-cardiovascular. Ngophando oluqhubekayo kunye nokwandisa ulwazi, i-rutin iqinisekile ukuba idlala indima ebalulekileyo ekuphuculeni impilo yonke kunye nokukhusela izifo ezingapheliyo kwiminyaka ezayo.
