Utilization of watermelon pulp for lycopene extraction by response surface methodology

•Watermelon pulp contains concentrated amount of lycopene (59.95mg/100g).•The ratio of hexane:acetone:ethanol (2:1:1) was used for extraction of lycopene.•S/m ratio, number of extractions, temperature and time were optimized using RSM.•The optimum conditions were 10:1v/w, four extractions, 50°C and...
