Mechanical mixer (Dispermat) was used to mix hydrophobin, SDS and fibers. Mixer speed was adjustable, but generally about 3800 rpm used in the experiments. Foam volume was studied as a function of time. Foaming reached the maximum level within 1 min with this set-up. The change of foam volume was monitored by photography,where pictures were taken every 10 s. From the photographic images, the mixing times required for reaching 50% gas volume (t50) and 66% gas volume (t66) were determined. In addition, the maximal volume achieved (Omax) was determined.Collapse rate of foam was measured with 10 min recording, whereas pictures were taken every 1 min. From these data V/ for the foam can be estimated. The V/ value describes the time elapsed after cessation of mixing when liquid volume reaches half of its initial height (drainage volume).
