Albumen (Egg White, Egg Albumin)
Albumen
is another word for cytoplasm of an egg, commonly
referred to as the white of an egg. Albumen contains
many nutrients. A large portion of albumen is water,
in which are dissolved proteins. Albumen is comprised
of unique proteins made from 18 biologically available
amino acids, which are absolutely essential to healthy
growth and maintenance.
These protein
found in albumen provide extra nutrition to the embryo
contained in the egg, and shelter the yolk, providing
added protection. The amino acids found in albumen
reveal an extraordinary ability to smooth and tighten
the skin, making wrinkles and expression lines less
visible.
