Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine antioxidant property of 3 cultivars rambutan peel extract such as Rongrien, Seechompoo and Seetong from Chanthaburi fruit market. Each dried rambutan peels were extracted for triplicate 3 days with 1:10 ratio of 95% ethanol before dried by rotary evaporator. Crude extract were evaluated on its antioxidant properties using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity, 2,2’-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical cation decolorization assay and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay. Best on DPPH radical scavenging assay and ABTS radical scavenging assay, crude extract from Rongrien cultivar showed significantly (p0.05) highest antioxidant activity (IC50 =8.795 µg/ml and 0.374 mg/ml, respectively). Moreover, crude extract from Rongrien cultivar also founded the highest FRAP assay value (6,740 µmol/g) when determined by using FRAP assay. Interestingly, the 3 cultivars rambutan peel extract exhibited higher antioxidant activity than those control (BHT and α-Tocopherol) (p0.05). This research show that crude from the rambutan peel could be the interesting source of antioxidants for development of various products in the future
