On the basis of the type, it is segmented into egg yolk powder, egg
albumen powder, whole egg powder, and others.
Like coconut water,
albumen also contains minerals and low fat and sugars, and can be used as an ingredient in the industry of fruit drinks.
Yolk index [(yolk height/yolk diameter) x 100],
albumen index [(
albumen height/average of
albumen length and
albumen width) x 100] and Haugh units [[100 x log (H+7.57-1.7W0.37)] where H is
albumen height and W is egg weight] were calculated by using the values of
albumen length,
albumen width and yolk diameter (Card and Nesheim, 1972).
Egg weight and yolks share were increased, while egg shape index, albume n share,
albumen height and Haugh unit were decreased with hen's age.
where h is height of
albumen and w is egg weight (Eisen et al.

The scientists found that for the uncoated eggs, as storage time increased,
albumen pH and weight loss increased, but yolk index,
albumen index and Haugh unit values decreased.
Other markers relating to nutritional status including patients' plasma
albumen were unchanged with treatment.
And the parameters evaluated for the eggs were: egg weight (g); weight (g) and percentage participation (%) of shell, yolk,
albumen, specific gravity (g [cm.sup.-3]).
A poultry egg consists of a shell,
albumen, and yolk.
