Albumen, commonly known as egg white, serves several purposes. Primarily, it provides protection and nourishment to the developing embryo in bird and reptile eggs, offering a source of water and protein. Additionally, albumen has functional properties in cooking and baking, such as acting as a binding agent, stabilizer, or leavening agent in various recipes. Its ability to whip into a foam makes it essential for making meringues and soufflés.
