We describe the effect of three synthetic surfactants (anionic – sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), cationic – cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and nonionic – Triton X-100 (TX-100)) on surface properties of the type I calf skin collagen at the air/water interface in acidic solutions (pH 1.8). The protein concentration was fixed at 5 × 10⁻⁶ mol L⁻¹...

The effect of three synthetic surfactants on surface activity and surface dilatational rheology of temperature-denatured type I collagen at water/air interface is described. An anionic (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS), a cationic (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB) and a nonionic (Triton X-100, TX-100) surfactants were employed at variable concentr...

We describe the adsorption behaviour and rheological properties of a calf skin type I collagen, and of its hydrolysates obtained using a Clostridium histolyticum collagenase (CHC) under moderate conditions (pH 7, 37°C). The effect of CHC concentration (2×10(-9)-2×10(-6)M) and incubation time (35-85min) was studied and optimised to achieve the highe...

The dynamic surface tension and surface dilational rheology of native collagen (type I, from bovine calf skin) were analyzed in the temperature range from 21 to 34.5 °C. In addition, the effect of heating the collagen solutions up to 90 °C followed by cooling down to room temperature, on surface tension and rheological parameters of the adsorbed la...

Effect of a model bovine milk protein, β-casein, on surface activity of Quillaja bark saponin (QBS) from Sigma was studied at three fluid/fluid interfaces: air/water, tetradecane/water and olive oil/water. In all cases, the protein concentration was fixed at 10−6 mol L−1, and QBS concentration was varied between 5·10−7 and 1·10−3 mol L−1. Dynamic i...
