Abstract
In this work, the viscoelasticity of fragile β-casein films has been followed using different macro- and microrheological techniques. The modulus of the complex surface viscosity |η∗| varies with time, allowing for the monitoring of the protein adsorption and annealing. β-casein adsorption creates a soft glassy gel at the interface that experiences an aging process. Macrorheological experiments with multiple probe sizes in addition to microrheological experiments demonstrated the consistency of the surface rheological properties over a broad range of viscosities. Surface pressure measurements were performed to complement the characterization of the processes.
