| Abstract: | The effect of composition and origin of maltodextrins on the retention of 38 components in a mixture of volatile organic substances (odorants) during 6-month storage was studied by means of capillary gas-liquid chromatography. The retention of esters increased with an increase in their molecular weight. The retention of lactones, phenols, linalool, menthone, and damascone was 75-85%. Storage of aldehydes was accompanied by oxidation, and the retention of these substances did not exceed 55%. The retention of odorants increased with a decrease in the molecular weight of maltodextrins. The maximum retention was typical of maltodextrin from amylopectin starch not containing amylose. |
