Abstract

The rutin content of Fagopyrum tataricum is 100-fold higher than that of Fagopyrum esculentum. For the development of a rutin-containing beverage, a suitable method to extract rutin from buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) with high rutin yield was investigated. A roasting temperature range of $310/240^{\circ}C$ (Ed-confirm that this is indeed a range; otherwise perhaps, 'Roasting temperatures ranging from 310 to $240^{\circ}C$ were considered$\ldots$') was considered to be the best as the basic color reference. Rutin content varied according to the roasting time and heating temperature; i.e., it decreased with increasing roasting time and temperature. (Ed- this sentence is unnecessarily complicated and should be simplified to 'Rutin content decreased with increasing roasting time and heating temperature.') The optimal extraction temperature and processing time were obtained as $80^{\circ}C$ and 10 minutes to maximize the rutin concentration in the extract.
