What it is

Egg albumen is the clear liquid part of an egg, commonly known as egg white. It is primarily composed of water and proteins, mainly albumin. It is separated from the yolk and can be used fresh, dried, or pasteurized.

Why it's used

Egg albumen is used as a binder, emulsifier, and foaming agent in food products. Its ability to create stable foams makes it valuable in baked goods like meringues and angel food cake, as well as in confectionery like marshmallows and nougat. It also contributes to the texture and structure of processed meats and dairy products.

Health notes

Egg albumen is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and other nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated egg albumen. At typical consumption levels found in food, it does not pose health concerns for the general population.

Allergen info

Egg albumen is derived from eggs, which are one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
