Egg white is the clear liquid contained within an egg, surrounding the yolk, distinct from the whole egg from which it is separated. In chickens it forms from secretions in the hen's oviduct as the egg passes through, providing protection and nutritional support for the developing embryo. It is composed of roughly ninety percent water and about ten percent dissolved protein, contains minimal fat, and accounts for about fifty six percent of the total protein found in a whole egg.
