| Phthalate esters (PAEs) plasticizers are environmental pollutants associated with reproductive toxicity, cancer risks, and birth defects. Vegetable oils are prone to PAEs contamination. In order to provide a reference for advancing PAEs detection methods, the pre-treatment methods and quantitative detection technologies of PAEs detection were reviewed, and their advantages and disadvantages were compared. The development trends of detection technology of PAEs were prospected. The pre-treatment methods of PAEs detection includes liquid-liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, gel permeation chromatography, and QuEChERS, etc. The quantitative detection technologies for PAEs in vegetable oils include high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, etc. Future directions in PAEs detection technology are expected to focus on the integration of combined pre-treatment approaches, online purification, microextraction techniques, and gas chromatography-tandem triple-quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). |
