Yes, because egg albumin can form with metal ions in order to get rid of them. That is why when a person consumes a heavy metal, they are advised to consume egg whites.
Egg Albumin
Another name for albumin is serum albumin.
Not necessarily. Chelating agents can be neutral too. For example en (ethylenediamine), etc. The only condition for a ligand to be called a chelating agent is that it should coordinate with the metal in a manner so as to form a ring .
The other name for egg white solution is Albumin.
Tertrasodium EDTA is a chelating and preservative agent.
Egg yolk has more sulfur content compared to egg albumin. Sulfur is primarily found in the form of sulfur-containing amino acids such as cysteine and methionine. Egg yolk contains more of these amino acids than egg albumin, making it higher in sulfur.
White
egg albumin contains protein. when hydrochloric acid is added to egg albumin, it denatures the protein. in the lab - the observations were as follows: the solution which was initially gel- like, turned watery and transparent
Chelating agent
An average large egg contains about 6-7 grams of protein, with a significant portion coming from albumin. The egg white is primarily composed of albumin, which is a type of protein commonly found in animal tissues.
Egg albumin does dissolve in water, but it does not completely dissolve due to its complex protein structure. The protein molecules in egg albumin are large and have a unique shape, making it difficult for them to fully disperse in water. This is why egg albumin forms a suspension or colloid when mixed with water rather than dissolving completely.
