The main constituent of egg white is water at 83%. Ovalbumin is the main protein constitutent and is structurally a serpin (a class of proteins), although it does not have a known function in inhibiting other proteins.
The major proteins found in egg white (> 1% of the total protein content) are listed below:
Ovalbumin 54%
Conalbumin 13%
Ovomucoid 11%
Lysozyme 3.5%
Globulins (G2, G3) 8.0% (?)
Ovomucin 1.5%
Other protein components include, flavoprotein (.8%), ovoglycoprotein (.5%), ovomacroglobulin (.5%), ovoinhibitor (.1%) and avidin (.05%).
