RE: the word "abulum"...?
ALBUMEN: 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. The albumen consists of 4 alternating layers of thick and thin
consistencies. From the yolk outward, they are designated as the inner thick
or chalaziferous white, the inner thin white, the outer thick white and the
outer thin white. Egg white tends to thin out as an egg ages because its
protein changes in character. That's why fresh eggs sit up tall and firm in
the pan while older ones tend to spread out.
Albumen is more opalescent than truly white. The cloudy appearance comes
from carbon dioxide. As the egg ages, carbon dioxide escapes, so the albumen
of older eggs is more transparent than that of fresher eggs.
When egg albumen is beaten vigorously, it foams and increases in volume 6 to
8 times. Egg foams are essential for making soufflés, meringues, puffy
omelets, and angel food and sponge cakes.
