Albumen, Egg

Description

Obtained from egg white and shipped in dried or frozen form.

Usually packed in tins inside cases. When frozen, must be carried in a refrigerated compartment at minus 15°C or lower. Used in the bakery trade, the sugar confectionery industry and in the clarification of wines. Is not prime if excessive moisture is present or if it is reddish in parts, and has been adulterated, or if there is any boracic acid content. This product is not adulterated except in the rare case when inedible albumen is sold for industrial purposes.
