Composition, structure, and interfacial rheological properties of walnut glutelin by Zhou Jisong, Yang Jing, Shao Jiaqi, Wu Ping, Yang Xiaoli, Deng Qianchun, Jin Weiping, Peng Dengfeng

“…Results showed that at a low concentration of 10 μg/mL (<critical aggregation concentration), walnut glutelin reduced the interfacial tension to 59 mN/m after adsorption, permeation, and rearrangement at the air–water interface, suggesting that walnut glutelin has the ability to stabilize the air–water interface. Meanwhile, the solid-like interfacial film formed by walnut glutelin exhibited a high elastic modulus (35–45 mN m−1) and good mechanical properties over the tested amplitudes (8–40%). …”
