Project Profile
- Rue (Ruta) is a genus of strongly scented
evergreen subshrubs 20-60 cm tall, in the family Rutaceae, native to the
Mediterranean region, Macaronesia and southwest Asia. Different authors
accept between 8-40 species in the genus. The most well-known species is the
Common Rue.The leaves are bipinnate or tripinnate, with a feathery
appearance, and green to strongly glaucous blue-green in colour. The flowers
are yellow, with 4-5 petals, about 1 cm diameter, and borne in cymes. The
fruit is a 4-5 lobed capsule, containing numerous seeds.
- An evergreen shrub growing to 0.75m. It
is hardy to zone 8. It is in leaf all year, in flower from June to
September. The scented flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female
organs) and are pollinated by Insects. We rate it 1 out of 5 for
usefulness.The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay)
soils. The plant prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It can
grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It requires dry or moist
soil.
- Rue is commonly grown for its aromatic
blue-green foliage and small, fringed, yellow blooms . It is important that
plant has ample moisture and well-drained soil the first year. After that,
the plant is fairly drought tolerant. Excellent for use in rock gardens and
borders. Start seeds in flats and then transplant outside.
- Extraction of alkaloids from natural
products such as Hyoscyamus muticus, Datura stramonium and Ruta graveolens
consists of the use of a sonicated solution containing a surfactant as
extracting agent. The alkaloids are precipitated by Mayer reagent, dissolved
in an alkaline solution, and then extracted with chloroform.
- Cold Percolation is a traditional method
of extraction used by herbalists throughout the world and it's very simple.
Above a flask or vessel is suspended a cone or tube. The bottom of the tube
has a perforated base which holds ground herb in place. Solvent is poured
into the top of the tube where it soaks through the herb leaching out the
extract and then falling out the bottom end of the tube into the flask. If
desired, the percolation tube can be wrapped in heating tape to help
facilitate the extraction.
- Plant this strong-smelling repellent in
beds, in hedges and along paths. If planted around the house it helps to
repel flies. Prune the plant if it takes up too much space. Rue can be added
to stews. Rue tea is said to be good for coughs, croup and bronchitis but it
should be taken in small quantities and not repeatedly.
- Medicinally it has been used in many
countries. Some of its other uses include a disinfectant. As a growing plant
or its dried and crushed leaves are used as an insect repellant. Dried
plants are put into linen cupboards to repel moths. The essential oil
obtained from the leaves and shoots is also used for perfumery and
landscaping.
- Ruta graveolens L. is a flavonoid-containing
medicinal plant with various biological properties. In this study, the
effects of R. graveolens extract on aldehyde oxidase, a molybdenum
hydroxylase, are investigated. Aldehyde oxidase was partially purified from
liver homogenates of mature male guinea pigs by heat treatment and ammonium
sulphate precipitation.The total extract was obtained by macerating the
aerial parts of R. graveolens in MeOH 70% and the effect of this extract on
the enzyme activity was assayed using phenanthridine, vanillin and
benzaldehyde as substrates.
