Chemical composition and potential commercial values of rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) peel: A review / Syazwani Najwa Zulkurnain and Nurul Azlin Tokiman

Rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum) peel will be discarded upon processing or consumption but due high antioxidant content, it could attract the interest of experts in related fields. This study summarised the findings on the colouring compound, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of rambutan peel,...
