Rambutan hitam atau maritam (Nephelium ramboutan-ake) merupakan tumbuhan tropis khas Kalimantan Timur. Tumbuhan ini tumbuh liar dihutan-hutan Kalimantan. Secara empiris, masyarakat setempat menggunakan buah rambutan hitam untuk pengobatan kanker. Namun demikian, penelitian ilmiah mengenai rambutan hitam masih sangat terbatas. Oleh karenanya, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis aktivitas antioksidan dari buah rambutan hitam dengan menggunakan metode DPPH, ABTS, dan FRAP. Analisis aktivitas antioksidan dilakukan secara kolorimetri menggunakan spektrofotometer UV-Vis pada panjang gelombang tertentu. Hasil penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa ekstrak etanol daging buah rambutan hitam memiliki aktivitas antioksidan dengan kategori kuat baik dianalisis menggunakan metode DPPH (IC50 = 32,51 ± 0,21 mg/L), ABTS (IC50 = 30,04 ± 0,31 mg/L), dan FRAP (EC50 = 34,22 ± 0,17 mg/L). Aktivitas antioksidan yang kuat dari rambutan hitam menggambarkan potensi yang besar dari rambutan hitam dalam mengurangi dampak negatif radikal bebas. Adapun aktivitas antioksidan buah rambutan hitam dilaporkan pertama kali pada tulisan ini.
