Then the method will be done to the Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Extraction is a process to obtaining something from mixture or compound by chemical or physical methods. Liquid-liquid extraction is used to extract and purify carotenoids from CPO and then this sample will be analysis in High Performance Liquid Chromatographer (HPLC). Natural antioxidants occur in carotenoids are lycopene, α-carotene and β-carotene. Natural antioxidants can be founds in almost all plant, microorganism, fungi and animal tissue. Lycopene is antioxidant that uses to avoid some kind of cancer like prostate cancer. Lycopene is mainly found in the red fruid like tomato and watermelon. This is because lycopene is the red pigment that responsible to the red colour of the fruits. Nowadays, major source of lycone are from tomato although the high content of lycopene are found in watermelon. specialized Azizan Bin Abdul Aziz Project paper (Bachelor of Chemical Engineering) -- Kolej Universiti Kejuruteraan dan Teknologi Malaysia - 2006 Extraction (Chemistry) Palm oil Tomatoes THE0003977(Local) UMP 070316 20251114204452.0 vtls000018784
