The objective of the work was to study the impact of soy protein hydrolysis on kinetic adsorption to the air-water interface and the effect
of polysaccharides addition. Was used soy protein (SP) and theirs hydrolysates of 2% (H1) and 5.4% (H2) degree of hydrolysis. The
polysaccharides (PS) used were a surface active one called E4M and a non-surface active one, lamda carrageenan (C). The dynamic
surface pressure of interfacial films was evaluated with a drop tensiometer. In this contribution, we have determined the kinetic
parameters of adsorption to the air-water interface which determined the penetration (Kp) and rearrangement (Kr) rates of SP, H1, H2
and PS, as well as their mixed systems. It was observed an increase of Kp and Kr when the protein were hydrolyzed (from SP to H1),
however, when degree of hydrolysis progresses to H2 the parameters decreased again. In other hand, considerable differences were not
found between these two PS studied concerning the Kp to air-water interface at these conditions. In spite of the different surface active
nature of the PS, the proteins seem to control the behavior of the protein-PS interactions. However, when Kr of mixed systems was
analyzed, the degree of hydrolysis and PS nature started to have a huge importance. Hence, it could be observed synergic or antagonic
effects on Kr of biopolymers at liquid interface depending to the degree of hydrolysis of protein analyzed and the type of PS selected.CYTED through project 105PI0274CYCYT through grant AGL2007-60045Junta de Andalucía through grant PO6-AGR-01535Universidad de Buenos Aires, Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica y Tecnológica (PICT 2008-1901) and Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas de la República Argentin
