EN The manuscript presents research focusing on the adsorption and emulsion properties of starch hydrolysates modified through acetylation, oxidation, and cross-linking. The techniques used in this study included measurements of equilibrium surface tension (du Noüy ring) dynamic surface tension (drop shape analysis), and the preparation and evaluation of emulsion stability (TURBISCAN). The surface activity of the acetylated starch hydrolysates is affected by the degree of acetylation. The acetylated starch 0.02Ac-H exhibited higher surface activity than the more highly substituted derivative 0.1Ac-H. Furthermore, it was shown that the surface activity of the components increased as the acetylated oxidized starch underwent hydrolysis. The fractions collected after 180 min using a membrane with a low separation capability (8 kDa) revealed the highest capacity for reducing surface tension. In binary systems consisting of starch derivatives and surfactants, synergistic effects in reducing surface tension were particularly noticeable in systems containing ionic surfactants. The addition of a cationic surfactant to the modified starch hydrolysate solution (1:6 mol/mol) resulted in a significantly more efficient saturation of the air/water interface. This study demonstrated that emulsions stabilized with modified starch hydrolysates remained stable over time, even when these hydrolysates constituted up to 60% of the emulsifier mixture.
