Resumen:

The rambutan (Nephelium lappaceum L.) is a plant of Asiatic origin whose fruits are widely appreciated and consumed in many parts of the world. The rambutan seed, an abundant and available residue and incipiently consumed as food by populations of some producing regions, is being re-evaluated in its composition and in its edible, nutritional, and medicinal qualities, as well as an unconventional source of edible vegetable fats. The fat of the rambutan seed, with a high content of oleic and arachidic acids, has physicochemical and phase properties close to those of some partially hydrogenated fats with high contents of trans fatty acids, so the possibility of being used in many of its applications toward obtaining healthier fats and zero trans foods is highly valued. © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
