Lycopene, beta-carotene, coenzyme Q10, and lutein are minor constituents of palm oil that are removed during biodiesel production to produce light-colored oils. With the aim to investigate the recovery of these valuable compounds, a separation method was developed to quantify carotenoids and coenzyme Q10 in palm oil by ultra-highperformance supercritical fluid chromatography. Due to the presence of interferents,
