Best Answer

The egg white is approximately two thirds of the total egg’s weight out of its shell with 90% of that weight coming from water. The remaining weight of the egg white comes from protein, trace minerals, fatty material, vitamins, glucose and maybe even sodium. Egg white contains approximately 40 different proteins. Below is a list of proteins found in egg whites by percentage along with their natural functions.

  • Ovalbumin 64% Nourishment; blocks digestive enzymes
  • Ovotransferrin12% Binds iron
  • Ovomucoid 11% blocks digestive enzymes
