Abstract
An apparatus is described for the estimation of the expansion, dynamic stability and strength of foams formed by surface active compounds. Three solutions may be examined simultaneously. Foam strength is the most useful measurement and has been used to demonstrate that the properties of lucerne saponin foams are pH dependent whereas yucca saponin foams are not. The possible significance of these measurements in the problem of bloat is briefly discussed.Keywords
