Milk proteins are widely used for foaming in food manufacture. Despite longtime research, several issues (structure-function relationships) remain unclear. This is due to the structural complexity of proteins and foams per se. Further, instability of bubbles and analytical limitations render direct clarification of surface phenomena challenging. Improvement of the general understanding was and still is primary objective of scientific and industrial research. Thus, this thesis deals with a multiscale characterization of surface and foaming properties of milk proteins.
