Abstract
Introduction of Quercetin-Quercetin is a polyphenolic Flavonoid with potential chemo preventive activity.Quercetin also produces anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy effect. Quercetin is a Flavonoid found in many food and herbs and is regular component of a normal diet. Extract of Quercetin have been used to treat or prevent diverse conditions including cardiovascular Quercetin as a disease. Nutritional supplement is well tolerated.Quercetin has been separated from a crude plant extract by high-performance liquid chromatography.Human cannot make quercetin in their body but many fruits, vegetables, and drinks contain it.Flavonoids occur either as free molecules or as glyco- sides. They have widespread occurrence in plant kingdom. They occur in families like compositae, leguminoceae, po- lygonaceae, rutaceae etc. contain a large number of flavono- ids. Flavonoids have been reported in some green algae also. Chemically, flavonoids show a fifteen-carbon skeleton. Most of the Flavonoid have a carbonyl function situated at one end of the bridge. Quercetin is the most abundant of the Flavonoid. Plants containing various flavonoids have a long history of use in traditional medicines in many cultures, but the flavonoids themselves were not discovered until the 1930s. Quercetin first gained attention several decades ago when it was found to cause DNA mutations in bacteria, a possible sign that it might actually contribute to causing cancer
