Rambutan peel extract is an extract of the peel of the fruit rambutan, also called, Nephelium lappaceum L. The fruit rambutan belongs to the family of Sapindaceae, and is a native plant to Southeast Asia, Australia, South America, and African countries. The peel of the fruit rambutan is considered an agriculture waste and contains cellulose (24.28%), lignin (35.34%), hemicellulose (11.6%), and phenolic compounds. Only the latter compounds are extractable from the peel, while the cellulose and insoluble polysaccharides remains. Due to the high level of phenolic compounds in rambutan peel extract, it has several bioactivities and is used as an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and antibacterial agent (Tingting et al. 2022).
