The present invention relates to a method of binding a compound to at least a part of a surface of an object, the method comprising the step of adsorbing a hydrophobin-like substance to the surface. The invention provides a method of providing a surface of an object with a reactive compound comprising the steps of coating at least a part of the surface of the object with a coating of a hydrophobin-like substance and contacting the compound with the coated hydrophobin-like substance to form a non-covalent bond between the hydrophobin-like substance and the compound.

An aerated food product having an overrun of at least 20%, comprising 40-97% water, 3-50% soluble and/or insoluble solids and hydrophobin, wherein the aerated food product has a temperature of at least 50° C.

The invention relates to methods for coating objects with hydrophobins. Provided is a method for providing the surface of an object with a hydrophobin coating, comprising contacting at least a part of an object with a hydrophobin-containing solution to form a hydrophobin layer on the surface of the object and exposing the layer to a pH below 7, preferably below 4, more preferably below 2, optionally in the presence of a detergent. Contacting can be performed at around room temperature and the hydrophobin-containing solution can be a supernatant of a culture medium of an organism that secretes a hydrophobin.

Cement retarders for well cements are based on hydrophobins. Hydrophobins are proteins or polypeptides that form hydrophobic coatings on surfaces. The size of the hydrophobins is preferably between about 100 and 350 amino acids, and the preferred hydrophobin concentration is between about 0.001% and 1.0% by weight of cement. Portland cement is the preferred well cement. Cement slurries containing hydrophobins are useful for both primary and remedial cementing applications.

A method and composition for immobilizing an antimicrobial active ingredient on a surface of a substrate, in which the surface of the substrate is treated with a composition comprising

• • (i) a solvent,
  • (ii) a hydrophobin,
  • (iii) a cationic antimicrobial active ingredient,
  • (iv) optionally additives or auxiliary components,

which permits a long-lasting antimicrobial finishing of the substrate surface.

An aerated food product having an overrun of at least 20%, comprising 40-95% water, 5-55% fat, and hydrophobin, wherein the aerated food product has a temperature of at least 50° C.

The invention relates to the use of a synergistic mixture of water-soluble polymers with thickening action and hydrophobins for thickening aqueous phases, and to the degradation of the thickening action by cleaving the protein. The invention further relates to a thickening composition of water-soluble polymers, hydrophobins and water.

A method for separating one or more hydrophobic proteins, for instance membrane proteins such as integral membrane proteins, from a mixture of proteins. The method is characterized in that said mixture is partitioned in a phase system comprising a micelle-enriched aqueous phase (micelle-phase) and a polymer-enriched aqueous phase (polymer phase). At least part of the polymer of the polymer phase carries an affinity ligand that is capable of binding to an affinity structure on at least one of said one or more hydrophobic proteins.

The invention provides a non-aerated, foamable oral care composition comprising less than 1.5% anionic surfactant (by total weight anionic surfactant based on the total weight of the composition), abrasive cleaning agent and hydrophobin. The composition is mild to oral mucosa yet exhibits excellent foamability, texture and storage stability.

The invention discloses a dyeing liquid for preparing a zirconia false tooth ceramic blank in a gradient color. The dyeing liquid includes a solvent, a colorant, a surfactant, a permeation fortifier,an inorganic additive and an antibacterial agent, wherein the mass ratio of the solvent to the colorant to the permeation fortifier to the inorganic additive is (5-10):(2-3):1:(0.5-1), and the permeation fortifier is a mixture of an alcohol ether ester solvent, propylene glycol carbonate, acyl alaninate and hydrophobin. The coloring permeation depth of the dyeing liquid on the zirconia false toothceramic blank is greater than 5mm, the permeation time is short, and permeation on the surface of a ceramic or in the vertical direction of the ceramic is uniform; by adding the natural antibacterialagent into the dyeing liquid, the probability of inflammation of false tooth gingiva can be reduced; by adding inorganic ions into the dyeing liquid, the optical effect of the false tooth ceramic blank is obviously improved, and the transparency of the false tooth ceramic blank is enhanced.
