Abstract
The retention of aroma compounds ( d-limonene, ethyl hexanoate, octanal and 1-hexanol) on different starch matrices was measured using inverse gas chromatography. The starch materials were native, acetylated and pregelatinised corn starches, maltodextrin and extruded corn starches. The influence of the amylose content and of the physical characteristics of starch (specific area, particle shape and size) were studied. Whatever the type of starch, retention increased with the polarity of the flavour molecules in the sequence: d-limonene<ethyl hexanoate<octanal<1-hexanol. Maltodextrin appeared to be the most efficient matrix for flavour retention, followed by pregelatinised starches, extruded high-amylose starch and finally granular starches (native and acetylated starches). Retention on native starches did not follow the amylose content, unlike that on extruded starches. Specific area was the main factor, which could explain the different behaviour of samples.
