    Abstract:
    A method for the determination of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), epoxidized vegetable oils (EVO) and stearates in aqueous solutions is described. A stepwise extraction procedure is employed to separate DEHP and EVO from the stearates, using n-hexane as extraction solvent. EVO is transesterified to methyl esters by sodium methoxide in methanol. The stearates are derivatized by methanol containing sulfuric acid. The alkyl esters are analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography, using 3% OV-210 as the stationary phase. The concentrations of the weakest standard solutions correspond to 10, 5 and 8 micrograms/l (ppb) of DEHP, EVO and stearates, respectively, in the aqueous samples. The method is used for the determination of DEHP, EVO and stearates in intravenous solutions stored in flexible polyvinyl chloride bags.
