Abstract
The surface composition and surface microtopography of corn starch cryogels obtained from a 3% starch sol containing organic flavoring agents were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The cryogels withn-octanol,n-octyl methyl ketone, andn-octyl acetate have a well-developed microtopography and their surface layer (5–20 nm) is enriched in sorbed compounds.n-Octyl acetate, unliken-butyl acetate, influences the composition and microstructure of the cryogel surface. The sorbedn-octyl acetate occupies 20–25% of the surface, which has a well-developed topography and a porous structure. Drying and evacuation do not change the concentration of the organic sorbates having a C8 alkyl group in the surface layer.
