Abstract: Highlights: [•] A process for supercritical CO2 extraction of isoprenoids from pumpkin is described. [•] The effect of two dehydration methods on extracted oil yield and quality was established. [•] Oven-drying increased SC-CO2 extraction yields of total vitamin E and carotenoids. [•] Adding pumpkin seeds as co-matrix positively affect extracted oil yield and quality. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
