Egg white is the common name for the clear liquid (also called albumin/albumen or glair(e)) contained within an egg. It is the cytoplasm of the egg, which until fertilization is a single cell. It consists mainly of about 10% proteins dissolved in water. Its primary purpose is to protect the egg yolk and also to 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 little fat.

∙ 13y agoThe white part of the egg is literally referred to as egg white. It provides nutrition and protection for the chick in a fertilized egg. In an unfertilized egg, it provides very little nutrition to the human, and only when eaten with the yolk can it be considered an essential part of a diet.
Put an egg into boiling water and leave it boiling for 5 or 6 minutes. Take it out and break the shell, and then you will easily work out for yourself what is the white part of the egg.
