Anotations

Scope note:

Water-soluble and alcohol-soluble protein obtained from egg, blood, or milk; used in adhesives, finishes, coatings, varnish, as a clarifying agent for tannin, and in oil emulsion. The spelling with "i" is typically reserved fro this broader meaning. Use "albumen (egg white)" (spelled with an "e") for egg-white protein in the context of food preparation or photography.
