ABSTRACT
The method of  preparation of coacervates of maize, potato and tapioca starch with citronellal, ethyl cinnamate, limonene or menthol used as  model flavours, was described in this work. Obtained coacervates were produced by slow freezing of starch pastes with the mentioned flavours. Coacervates were examined e.g. by gas chromatography, thermogravimetry, EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance). Received results showed, that type of starch does not determine the level of protection  of the capsulated flavours, thus durability of the microcapsules. 
In this research, mostly  physical properties of the encapsulated substances, like boiling temperature, had the influence  on the durability of the microcapsules.
