2. 21. Fouling and cleaning of solid surfaces. The influence of surface characteristics and operating conditions

   Author : Camilla Karlsson; Livsmedelsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; ellipsometry; sodium hydroxide; anionic surfactant; betalactoglobulin; protein; stainless steel; hydrophilic surface; hydrophobic surface; cleaning; adsorption; fouling; Livsmedelsteknik; Chemical technology and engineering; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi;

   Abstract : The severe fouling common in food processing puts high demands on equipment cleaning. Adsorption of the protein betalactoglobulin to solid surfaces and its subsequent removal were followed using in situ ellipsometry. Most experiments were done in a stirred cuvette. Additionally, a flow cell was designed, which was employed in some work. READ MORE

4. 22. On the adsorption behaviour of saliva and purified salivary proteins at solid/liquid interfaces

   Author : Liselott Lindh; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acidic proline-rich proteins; adsorption; BSM; diffusion; ellipsometry; interfaces; mass transport limitation; mucins; MUC5B; saliva; salivary proteins; statherin; surface properties;

   Abstract : Den salivfilm som bildas genom selektiv proteinadsorption på ytor i munhålan har stor profylaktisk betydelse genom sin skyddande funktion och befrämjar därigenom oral hälsa. Några av de adsorberade komponenterna har smörjande funktion (t ex muciner, sura prolinrika proteiner (PRP) och statherin), som är viktig bl a för att förhindra slitage mellan tandytor vid tuggning och hos gnisslare.

5. 23. On the interaction between wort protein and iso-humulone : A study of surface rheology, interfacial structures and particle formation with the relevance to beer foam

   Author : Yi Lu; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; wort barley protein; lipid transfer protein; protein Z; iso-humulone; Ellipsometry; Surface rheology;

   Abstract : Beer is one of the most popular drinks in the world. Foam is a unique characteristic of beer, contributing to mouthfeelings and visual perceptions. Therefore, it would be worthwhile to study the solution and interfacial properties ofbeer and assess them with regards to foam. READ MORE

6. 24. Multilayer Structures for Biomaterial Applications : Biomacromolecule-based Coatings

   Author : Tobias Halthur; Per M. Claesson; Bjørn Stokke; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multilayer; layer-by-layer deposition; physical chemistry; surface chemistry; adsorption; ellipsometry; QCM-D; DPI; protein adsorption; polypeptides; biomaterials; biosurfaces; amelogenin; solid liquid interface; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

   Abstract : The cellular response to a biomaterial, such as a dental implant, is mainly governed by the surface properties, and can thus be altered by the introduction of a surface coating. In this thesis the buildup of a biomacromolecule-based coating formed by layerby-layer (LbL) deposition of the charged polypeptides poly(L-lysine) (PLL) and poly(L-glutamic acid) (PGA) has been studied.

7. 25. Coarse-Grained Modelling of Protein Adsorption

   Author : Kristin Hyltegren; Beräkningskemi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; intrinsically disordered proteins; histatin 5; fibrinogen; protein adsorption; nanotopography; ellipsometry; Monte Carlo simulations; Coarse-grained modelling; charge regulation;

   Abstract : The adsorption of proteins is a very common phenomenon, happening almost always when a protein solution comes into contact with a solid. However, it is far from always clear what the results of adsorption will be in terms of adsorbed amount, protein orientation, and protein conformation. READ MORE
