%0 Journal Article %T INFLUENCE OF 1-BUTANOL, 1,2-BUTANEDIOL AND 1,2,3,4-BUTANETETROL ON THE ADSORPTION OF b-LACTOGLOBULIN AT THE AIR-WATER INTERFACE %A Romero %A Carmen M %A Albis %A Alberto R %A Mendieta %A N¨¦stor E %J Revista Colombiana de Qu¨ªmica %D 2011 %I Universidad Nacional de Colombia %X in this work, a systematic study on the effect of 1-butanol, 1,2-butanediol and 1,2,3,4-butanetetrol (erythritol) on the surface tension of ¦Â-lactoglobulin in aqueous solution at ph 6.5 and 298.15 k is presented. the experimental data were used to calculate the surface pressure and were adjusted to different protein adsorption models at the liquid-air interface to explain the behavior of ¦Â-lactoglobulin in aqueous solution. the results show that the alcohols produce a significant effect on the adsorption behavior of the protein at the interface that is related to the number of hydroxyl groups. %K ¦Â-lactoglobulin %K 1-butanol %K 1 %K 2-butanediol %K 1 %K 2 %K 3 %K 4-butanetetrol %K surface tension %K adsorption. %U http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0120-28042011000300006&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
