Abstract: As a major representative component of flavonoids, rutin has gained high attention in the scientific field. At present, the studies of rutin have achieved remarkable results. In this article, the sources, structures, physicochemical properties, biological activity, and extraction and determination methods of rutin from a variety of raw materials are summarized. Meanwhile, the roles of rutin in several typical civilization diseases such as gout, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes are also discussed. In order to strengthen the function of rutin on the body, the role of rutin in signal transduction in vivo is also proposed.

Key words: rutin, extraction, determination, biological activity, civilization disease
