Abstract

This review emphasised the extraction methods of carotenoids using solvent extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, adsorption extraction, ultrasonic-assisted extraction, pressurised liquid extraction, and enzymatic assisted extraction of crude palm oil (CPO) and its by-products, namely palm pressed fiber oil (PPFO), oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) and palm oil mill effluent (POME). The importance of green extraction technology and the effect of pre-treatment and the extraction process on the yield of carotenoids are also discussed. The utilization of palm oil by-products can be significantly increased by extracting carotenes and utilising them as value-added products.
