Abstract

Indonesia has various types of plants that are efficacious as medicine. One of them is rambutan whose peel has medicinal properties. However, rambutan peel has not been widely used by most people. In recent years, there have been many studies that have tested the effectiveness of rambutan peel on health. Rambutan belongs to the Sapindaceae family that grows in tropical and subtropical climates. The method used in this systematic review is a literature study obtained from online search databases with a time span between 2008–2021. The databases used are Google Scholar, Science Direct, PubMed, and Researchgate. The selected studies have gone through selection and assessment to get the best references. Pharmacological activities such as antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, antiosteoporosis, anti-inflammatory, antihyperglycemic, antihypercholesterolemic and anticancer activities have been proven to be contained in rambutan peel extract after going through the testing process. The contents of rambutan peel extract are geraniin, ellagic acid, quercetin, rutin, corilagin, ethyl gallate and epigalocatechin-3-galate with the largest constituent compound is geraniin. Geraniin compounds are proven to be effective in most of their activities such as antioxidant, antihyperglycemic, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory. This article provides an overview of the pharmacological activity and chemical content in rambutan peel extract which is expected to be continued by researchers in the future.
