Orientin is a flavone, a chemical flavonoid-like compound. It is the 8-C glucoside of luteolin.
Natural occurrences
Orientin is found in Adonis vernalis, in Anadenanthera colubrina and Anadenanthera peregrina, and in the Phyllostachys nigra bamboo leaves[1]
- In food
Orientin is also reported in the passion flower,[2] the Açaí palm, buckwheat sprouts,[3] and in millets.[4]
Identification
The identification of orientin has been reported widely. Its identification using mass spectrometry is established.[5]
See also
Isoorientin (or homoorientin) is the luteolin-6-C-glucoside.
