The surface shear rheology of hydrophobin HFBII adsorption layers is studied in angle-ramp/relaxation regime by means of a rotational rheometer. The behavior of the system is investigated at different shear rates and concentrations of added beta-casein. In angle-ramp regime, the experimental data comply with the Maxwell model of viscoelastic behavior. From the fits of the rheological curves with this model, the surface shear elasticity and viscosity, E-sh and eta(sh), are determined at various fixed shear rates. The dependence of eta(sh), on the rate of strain obeys the Herschel-Bulkley law. The data indicate an increasing fluidization (softening) of the layers with the rise of the shear rate. The addition of beta-casein leads to more rigid adsorption layers, which exhibit a tendency of faster fluidization at increasing shear rates. In relaxation regime, the system obeys a modified Andrade's (cubic root) law, with two characteristic relaxation times. The fact that the data comply with the Maxwell model in angle-ramp regime, but follow the modified Andrade's low in relaxation regime, can be explained by the different processes occurring in the viscoelastic protein adsorption layer in these two regimes: breakage and restoration of intermolecular bonds at angle-ramp vs solidification of the layer at relaxation.
