Best Answer

Egg Albumin, to be specific, has high concentrations of polar amino acids such as Glutamic Acid, Aspartic Acid, and Lysine (basic). It also has high concentration of Leucine (a non-polar amino acid) and small amounts of many others. The high concentration of polar amino acids makes the hydrophilic polar/charged molecules face the outside, toward the water containing solution. While the hydrophobic portions of the protein are "Shelled" inward away from the water.
