Egg white is the term used to refer to albumen; the clear, viscous gel-like liquid that forms the outer part of an egg beneath the shell. This substance is mostly water, but is about ten percent protein(s). The albumen serves the function of shock-absorbency, protecting the embryo, as well as providing additional nutrition.

The albumen becomes white when cooked or whipped.
