The compositions of standard mixtures of methyl laurate, myristate, plamitate and stearate were determined by gas liquid chromatography, varying the operating conditions such as sample size, column temperature and flow rate of the carrier gas. The influences of these operating conditions on analytical values were examined. The sample size had a significant influence on the analytical values. The degree of influence was dependent on the column temperature and the composition of the sample. It was also observed that the flow rate of the carrier gas affected the analytical values.
