egg white (<egg components as materials>, <animal material by egg and egg components>, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: The white of an egg, which is the clear substance that surrounds the yolk; in the context of art materials, generally refers to whites of bird eggs. The whole egg, yolk, or white may be used sometimes mixed with oil and/or resin. Egg white, or glair, has been used as a medium for illuminated manuscripts. It is also used as a size for attaching gold leaf. For the egg white protein that is used in the food industry and in photographic emulsions, use "albumen (egg white protein)." |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Het witte gedeelte van een ei, te onderscheiden van het eigeel. Wordt onder andere gebruikt als bindmiddel voor pigment en in vernissen en stijfsel. Gebruik liever 'albumine' voor dezelfde stof binnen de context van fotografische materialen. |
Spanish ..... La clara de un huevo, a diferencia de la yema. Utilizada entre otros como unión de pigmentos, en barnices y aprestos. Para la misma sustancia en el contexto de materiales fotográficos, preferir "albúmina." |
