The nitric acid used in laboratory is colorless. The very concentated nitric acid - the fumans acid - with dissolved nitrogen oxides, can release white, red or brown fumes, very corrosive and toxic.
The two liquids will separate. The reaction between the albumen and concentrated nitric acid will cause the separation. The reaction also causes a clumpy jelly yellow solid.
It is due to nitric dioxide gas contamination. Very pure nitric acid is clear because the synthesis of it removes it of nitric dioxide.

In this reaction the yellow xanthoproteic acid is formed.

Phenylalanine gave a yellow to orange color in xanthoproteic test which means it is positive.

Yellow
This mixture is called Aqua regia (Latin: royal water) or aqua regis, which is a highly corrosive, fuming yellow or red solution, also called nitro-hydrochloric acid.The mixture is formed by freshly mixing concentrated nitric acid (12M) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (18M), usually in a molar ratio of 1:3 (volume ratio 1:2) respectively.Only this mixture is capable of dissolving gold (Au).Chemical reaction equation (Be aware of toxic fumes !):Au(s) + NO3-(aq) + 4 H+(aq) → Au3+(aq) + NO(g) + 2 H2O(l)
Aqua regia, which is a mixture of two acids, will dissolve gold. Aqua regia is a mixture of concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl), usually in a 1 to 3 ratio respectively. Aqua regia is one of the few acids that will dissolve both gold and platinum as well as other metals. Interestingly, neither hydrochloric acid nor nitric acid alone will dissolve gold, but together, they will!Both acids do different jobs. Nitric acid actually dissolves a virtually undetectable amount of gold, which reacts with the hydrochloric acid to produce ions that are much more soluble. This frees the nitric acid to dissolve the gold further, and the reaction continues.See the Web Links to the left for more information about aqua regia.
Nitric acid. Tartrazine. Alpha-crocin. Iodoform....probably a million other things. Just as a medical disclaimer - Yellow skin is indicative of bilirubin buildup. If you have inexplicably yellow skin, yellow patches or yellow eyes, you may be jaundiced and should definitely see a doctor concerning the state of your liver.
The xanthoproteic test is a test for the detection of proteins. If proteins are present, concentrated nitric acid reacts with the proteins to form a yellow color that turns orange-yellow by the addition of alkali. This is called the xanthoproteic reaction.
