Effect of preprocessing and compressed propane extraction on quality of cilantro (Coriandrum sativum L.)

•Solvent extraction with compressed propane at 21–27°C and 1.1MPa was evaluated.•Major volatiles were E-2-tetradecenal, dodecanal, E-2-dodecenal, and tetradecanal.•Major fatty acids were linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid.•Drying at 60°C resulted in better preservation of color and volatile compounds.•Propane extraction lead to a decrease in browning index of dried cilantro.
