==Chemical Composition==The volatile compounds identified in rambutan fruit is a round to oval singleusing GC/O are β-seeded berrydamascenone, 3–6 cm (rarely to 8 cmE) long and 3–4 cm broad-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal, vanillin, borne in a loose pendant cluster of 10–20 together. The leathery skin is reddish (rarely orange or yellowE)-2-nonenal, phenylacetic acid, cinnamic acid, ethyl 2-methylbutyrate, δ-decalactone, 3-phenylpropionic acid, and covered with fleshy pliable spines2, hence the name6-nonadienal, furaneol, which means 'hairs'.
