Abstract
Destabilization of protein-stabilized food foams by some ingredients has been shown to be due to disruption of protein-protein interactions in the adsorbed protein layer. The structure of adsorbed protein layers at air/water interfaces has been elucidated by neutron reflectance. A new mechanism of thin film drainage at high protein concentration has been demonstrated. Drainage models have been developed to predict.syneresis and collapse of equilibrium foams.

Silicone antifoam performance enhancement by nonionic surfactants in potato medium.

TL;DR: A model is proposed where surfactant adsorption promotes desorption of surface-active potato medium components from the water surface, and the rate of bubble rupture is sufficiently enhanced to provide excellent foam control at the SCAFC.

Neutron reflectivity of adsorbed β-casein and β-lactoglobulin at the air/water interface

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of protein concentration, substrate pH, film ageing and the presence of calcium ions on the film structures have been investigated using specular neutron reflectance, and a two-layer model of the film configuration was proposed to account for the changes in layer structure occurring during these processes.

Ordered micelle structuring in thin films formed from anionic surfactant solutions: II. Model development

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple cell model is proposed to calculate the disjoining pressure contribution due to the presence of micellar structure inside the thinning liquid films, and the calculated excess energy per unit area of the film exhibits a number of minima corresponding to the metastable states with mousellar layers inside the film.

A new method to estimate the stability of short-life foams☆

TL;DR: In this article, the decay behavior of short-life foam is defined as the equilibrium state of the classical Bikerman's experiment, i.e., when the foam formation by bubbling (at bottom of the column) exactly compensates the foam collapse (at the top), and it is found that short life foam decay exhibits a linear variation in the foam column height with the logarithm of the elapsed time.
