Determination of Sorption Isotherm and Rheological Properties of Lysozyme Using a High-Resolution Humidity Scanning QCM-D Technique

Abstract: The high-resolution humidity scanning QCM-D technique enables investigation of hydration of soft matter films using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) equipped with a humidity module. Based on a continuous increase of relative humidity, properties of soft matter films can be investigated depending on the water content of the surrounding atmosphere. Determination of complete water sorption isotherms is possible via analysis of the overtone dependence of the resonance frequencies. … Show more

“…In many cases, the coating of the quartz sensor with a film leads to deviations from the Sauerbrey equation due to the rheological and/or surface properties of the applied film. In this work, the QCM-D data were analyzed according to the single viscoelastic film in air model, 13 which previously has been used for QCM-D hydration studies on pig gastric mucin, 8 lysozyme, 10 and starch films. 11 According to this model, the frequency change, normalized per overtone, corresponding to the total mass of the coated sensor m f , is proportional to the overtone in square n 2 by the following relation:…”

“…In addition, the rheological properties of the film can be evaluated through the ratio between the storage and loss moduli, which describes the elastic behavior (G ′ f ) in relation to the viscous properties (G ′′ f ) of the film. 10,14 This is achieved by incorporating the complex frequency, which is defined as ∆f = f + iΓ, where f is the real part and Γ is the imaginary part. Equation (2) can now be rewritten according to Eq.…”

“…Due to its high sensitivity this technique delivers real-time analysis of the thickness, swelling and rheological properties of the sample. We used a newly developed humidity scanning QCM-D method (Graf M a n u s c r i p t 14 and Kocherbitov, 2013) to investigate starch films of various thicknesses which were prepared by drop-coating the sensor with dilute aqueous solutions of acid hydrolyzed starch. As Figure 3 (a) shows, the sorption isotherms obtained with the QCM-D method are in close agreement with the sorption calorimetry data.…”
