n.
egg white
Egg white
Albumen redirects here. This should not be confused with
albumin, a kind of protein. In botany, the term albumen refers to the
endosperm inside a plant seed.Egg white is the common name for the clear liquid (also called the albumen or the glair/glaire) contained within an
egg. It is the
cytoplasm of the egg, which until
fertilization is a single
cell (including the yolk). It consists mainly of about 15%
proteins dissolved in water. Its primary natural purpose is to protect the
egg yolk and provide additional nutrition for the growth of the
embryo, as it is rich in proteins and is of high nutritional value. Unlike the egg yolk, it contains a negligible amount of fat. Egg whites have also come to have many culinary and non-culinary uses for humans.
