albumen

Clear egg part

Albumen is the white of an egg—the clear protein-rich liquid surrounding the yolk that turns opaque when cooked.

The term also refers to the protein itself, found in egg whites, blood serum, and plant tissues.

In photography, albumen prints were made using egg-white-coated paper: Victorian family portraits were often albumen prints.
