Infobox references

Quercitrin is a glycoside formed from the flavonoid quercetin and the deoxy sugar rhamnose.

Austrian chemist Heinrich Hlasiwetz (1825-1875) is remembered for his chemical analysis of quercitrin.

Occurrence

Quercitrin is a constituent of the dye quercitron. It can be found in Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum)^[1] and in oaks species like the North American white oak (Quercus alba) and English oak (Quercus robur).^[2] It is also found in Nymphaea odorata or Taxillus kaempferi.^[3]

Metabolism

The enzyme quercitrinase catalyzes the chemical reaction between quercitrin and H₂O to yield L-rhamnose and quercetin.
