We did an experiment on removing albumin from egg whites. May I know how did albumin got removed from the egg whites? What is the chemistry behind it?
ex.: it got removed because albumin is water soluble etc.

Add about 100mL distilled or deionized water to the egg white and stir until a white precipitate forms. These are the egg globulins. Now you can either centrifuge the mixture and pour off and save the supernatant which is your ovalbumin. Or you can simply filter the mixture and keep the filtrate.
