In vitro catabolism of rutin by human fecal bacteria and the antioxidant capacity of its catabolites
The role of colonic microflora in the breakdown of quercetin-3-O-rutinoside (rutin) was investigated. An in vitro fermentation model was used and (i) 28 µmol of rutin and (ii) 55 µmol of quercetin plus 18 × 106 dpm of [4-14C]quercetin (60 nmol) were incubated with fresh fecal samples from three huma...
