                           A rapid and simple method for the determination of stearic acid and 12-hydroxystearic acid in PEG-60
                           hydrogenated castor oil by high performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering
                           detection was established. The oil sample was first pretreated by alkaline hydrolysis. The analysis was
                           performed on a Zhongpu Develop XD-C18 column (250 mm 3 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with gradient elution of
                           methanol and 1% acetic acid aqueous solution at a flow rate of 1.2 mL$min1 and a column temper-
                           ature of 40 8C. The drift tube temperature of the evaporative light scattering detection system was set at
                           40 8C, and the pressure of carrier gas (N2) was 337 kPa. The regression equation revealed a good linear
                           relation (r 5 0.9993–0.9995) during the test ranges (119.1–1190.7 μg$mL1 for 12-hydroxystearic acid,
                           10.7–107.4 μg$mL1 for stearic acid). The detection limits of 12-hydroxystearic acid and stearic acid
                           were 1.1 and 2.5 μg$mL1, the limits of quantitation were 3.2 and 7.4 μg$mL1, respectively. And the
                           mean recoveries were 101.5 and 101.0%, the corresponding relative standard deviations (RSDs) were 2.1
                           and 2.8%, respectively. The RSDs corresponding to repeatability (n 5 6) were both less than 1.7% in
                           terms of precision. As to the stability, the test results remained stable after 8 h at room temperature
                           (RSDs were both less than 2.6%). The developed method showed high sensitivity, recovery, repeatability
                           and stability, which indicated that the method could be applied as a quality evaluation method for the
                           determination of stearic acid and 12-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid in PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil.

                           Hydrogenated castor oil, produced by hydrogenation of natural vegetable oil extracted from
                           castor seeds, is a kind of important oil excipient. In the field of medicine, hydrogenated castor
                           oil is often used as an effective surfactant in the preparation of various emulsions to solubilize
                           hydrophobic drugs [1, 2]. In sustained-release formulations, hydrogenated castor oil is often
                           used to prepare sustained-release matrices [3, 4]. It is also used as a thixotropic agent in

3.3. Discussion

3.3.1. Selection of mobile phase ratio. It is found that
increasing the proportion of methanol in the methanol-1%
acetic acid aqueous solution mobile phase can accelerate the
separation process, but reduce the degree of separation and
increasing the proportion of aqueous solution in the mobile
phase will make the separation better, but the retention time
will be prolonged and the peak shape will become worse.
Considering the above factors, setting the elution gradient as
shown in Table 1 and the flow rate of 1.2 mL min1 can                        Fig. 3. Optimization of alkaline hydrolysis time
