USAGE
The words albumen and albumin have the same origin but are not identical in meaning. Albumen specifically denotes egg white or the protein found in egg white. Albumin, on the other hand, denotes the more general category of protein which is soluble in water and which coagulates on heating, of which albumen is just one type.
词源
late 16th cent.: from Latin, 'egg white', from albus 'white'.
