In this study, the high-amylose corn starch–cinnamaldehyde inclusion complex was prepared by an ultrasound treatment and its releasing characteristic was investigated. The results showed that the ultrasound treatment (35°C, 10min and 250W) generated a higher encapsulation rate of 40.2% than the conventional treatment (encapsulation rate, 5.7%). Data obtained from Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that cinnamaldehyde was successfully encapsulated by high-amylose corn starch and the encapsulation significantly increased the dissociation temperature of cinnamaldehyde by around 70°C. Compared to the physical mixture of high-amylose corn starch and cinnamaldehyde, the formed inclusion complex had good retention ability and reduced the releasing rate of cinnamaldehyde from 57.5% to 28.4% in the first week. These results suggest that cinnamaldehyde could be encapsulated by high-amylose corn starch with an ultrasound treatment for presenting the releasing behavior in food preservation.
