[Retention of essential oil components sorbed by native cornstarch during storage].
Changes in the content of essential oil components sorbed by native dry cornstarch during storage were studied by the method of capillary gas chromatography. The composition of volatile substances changed insignificantly, and the sample retained its organoleptic characteristics over 3-month storage. We revealed that up to 70-80% monoterpene carbohydrates and lower sulfides disappeared after 6-month storage. The loss of terpene alcohols, acetates, and ketones did not exceed 10%. Storage was accompanied by an increase in the content of essential oil components bound to the surface of starch granules.
