a simple water-soluble protein found in many animal tissues and liquids

The gelatinous "white" of a bird's egg, whose function is to cushion and protect the yolk.

Also known as egg white. Albumen accounts for most of an egg's liquid weight, about 67%. It contains more than half the egg's total protein, niacin, riboflavin, chlorine, magnesium, potassium, sodium and sulfur.

(1) Egg white. (2) An important type of protein found in egg whites, rare beef, milk and some vegetables. It is a vital component of human blood serum.

The protein of egg whites.

The major component of egg white.

The chief protein found in egg whites.

From 1848, a method of coating egg white mixed with light sensitive silver salts on glass. Low in sensitivity, which led to long exposures, but extremely fine in grain, which gave it life in specialised applications throughout the 19th century.

A printed-out paper common from about 1852 onwards. A solution of egg white was mixed with light sensitive silver salts and coated on paper. This provided a smooth, glossy printing surface, often toned with gold salts after processing to increase the permanence and to give a rich purplish-brown colour.

The white of the egg. There are two kinds; a thick white mostly next to the yolk, and a thin white mostly next to the shell. The white is actually formed in four (alternating) layers.

A class of simple, water-soluble proteins that can be coagulated by heat and are found in egg white, blood serum, milk, and many other animal and plant juices and tissues.

invented by Louis Désiré Blanquart-Évrard in 1850; an improvement on the salted paper print, used between 1848 and the late 1870s. Plain paper was coated with a layer of egg-white containing salt and sensitised with silver nitrate before exposure. This type of photograph was susceptible to the deleterious effects of light and oxygen - many of these photographs show signs of fading and yellowing with loss of density and contrast.

(egg white) A solution of protein in water that is secreted by the oviduct of birds and some reptiles. Albumen surrounds the embryo and yolk, which it cushions within the shell of the egg. It is eventually absorbed by the embryo as food.

A protein derived from egg whites, albumen contributes to the tightening action of Face Lift(tm) with Activator Original Formula.

A class of soluble proteins in plants and animals. Albumen is found in egg white, milk and blood; and was used in early photography as an emulsion for photographs, glass slides and glass negatives. The albumen used for albumen prints came from egg whites. Albumen is also an ingredient in glair-a mixture of egg white and vinegar-an adhesive used by bookbinders for gilding and gold tooling. See also Glair.

The egg white, provides protection, water and protein for the developing embryo.

Egg white; used in early photographic emulsions as a coating for papers.  Also used for glass plates.

Eggwhite. Used on glass as a medium for light-sensitive emulsions to make finely detailed negatives albumen positive prints are made on paper coated with eggwhite and salt solution and sensitized with silver nitrite solution. The print is made by exposure to sunlight through a negative.

The most popular photographic print f~rom 1855 to 1890. Albumen positive prints are made on paper coated with frothy egg white and salt solution and sensitized with silver nitrate solution. The print is then finalized by exposure to sunlight through a negative.
