Xanthophylls and carotenes were extracted from persimmon fruit.
Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) with CO2 was used as extraction method.
A response surface methodology (RSM) was used for modeling and optimization.
Xanthophylls were better extracted in 30 min at 300 bars, 60 °C, 3 mL/min CO2 flow.
β-carotene was better extracted in 30 min at 100 bars, 40 °C, 1 mL/min CO2 flow.
