Albumen, specifically egg white, primarily consists of water and proteins, with very minimal lipid content. While it does not contain significant amounts of lipids, trace amounts may be present due to contamination or the presence of yolk. The primary role of albumen is to provide protection and nutrition for the developing embryo, primarily through its protein content.
