What's the difference between albumen and albuminoid?
Albumen
Definition:
(n.) The white of an egg.
(n.) Nourishing matter stored up within the integuments of the seed in many plants, but not incorporated in the embryo. It is the floury part in corn, wheat, and like grains, the oily part in poppy seeds, the fleshy part in the cocoanut, etc.
(n.) Same as Albumin.
Example Sentences:

(3) In the presence of albumen, plasma or tissue homogenates, massive binding of the 5-HT oxidation products to proteins was observed.
(4) Of several tests evaluated for detection of transmitter hens, the direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on albumen was probably best, since it detected three of four transmitter hens, detected relatively few nontransmitter hens, and had the best consistency of any test.
(5) After 6-minute tourniquet application the values for red cells, haemoglobin, packed cell volume, total protein, albumen, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatinekinase, bilirubin, cholesterol, total glycerol and calcium increased by an average of 4-9%.
(6) Similarly, semicongenic hens that expressed RAV-0 (EV2) (encoded at locus ev2) shed little or no p27 into albumens, but hens that harbored ev10, ev11, and ev12 shed high titers of p27.
(7) This was the parameter that most affected the albumen level.
(8) Serum albumen values were not different for these latter two groups.
(9) Albumen gland explants from Helisoma duryi can be maintained in a liquid culture medium for at least 96 hr.
(10) The egg albumen test for infectious ALV was shown to be more effective in detecting the congenitally transmitting hens than that for ALV antigens.
(11) The data were interpreted to suggest strain differences in amino acid uptake patterns due to different rates of synthesis or composition of egg albumen and marked differences in response or recptor sites to thyroid hormones.
(12) The albumen gland, the digestive gland, and the gonad of infected snails demonstrated not only normal tissue but also the presence of two stages of epithelial necrosis.
(13) To study the etch rates of biological materials, the resonant frequencies of quartz crystals were measured after application of thin films of albumen and cholesterol and again after these had been etched.
(14) In a feeding experiment, the residues of trimethoprim (TMP) in egg yolk and albumen were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
(15) Ascorbic acid (100 to 5,000 ppm) effectively protected the hens from the reduction in albumen quality resulting from the addition of 10 ppm of V to the basal diet.
(16) Simultaneously in adult snails the condition of albumen gland was examined.
(17) To my mind, a fresh hen's egg, with its richly golden yolk and firm albumen, trumps a dodgy fish egg any day.
(18) The agglutinin was extracted from the albumen gland of the snail and purified by column chromatography.
(19) Steroid-induced protein deposition in the liver was not changed between chicks genetically selected for low and high albumen contents.
(20) In contrast, steroid-induced protein synthesis in the magnum was significantly higher in high-albumen birds than low-albumen chicks.
Albuminoid
Definition:
(a.) Resembling albumin.
(n.) One of a class of organic principles (called also proteids) which form the main part of organized tissues.
Example Sentences:
(1) The albumin binding site more closely resembles vitamin D binding protein than B700, but the data indicate that the binding function of the albuminoid proteins is conserved in B700.
(2) Ultrastructural changes in endocrine cells in obese patients are suggestive of degenerative processes: in D-, D1- and G-cells these are fatty, P- and EC-cells albuminoid.
(3) There was no significant difference in the Ka and Bmax among the albuminoid proteins.
(4) Some normally pass the limulus test undiluted while others, such as immune globulins and albuminoid products, have to be diluted to various concentrations before they pass.
(5) Laser Raman scattering studies on these isolated proteins (both in the lyophilized state and in solution) and insoluble albuminoid reveal that they contain predominantly antiparallel pleated sheet structure in the main chains and that sulfhydryl groups are highly localized in gamma-crystallin.
(6) During the age intercellular substance shows the following changes: albuminoid degeneration, partly loss of intercellular substance with exhibition of well visible collagen fibers, calcification and ossification.
(7) The 2-year-old bovine lens nucleus did contain alpha neoproteins, but only in the albuminoid fraction.
(8) Similar findings of differential fate and distribution have been reported in comparing other albuminoid molecules [Dueland S., Blomhoff R. and Pedersen J. I.
(9) system, but presented different features from those of the Kiil kidney.The incidence of reactions was not related to the albuminoid nitrogen content of the water supply.
(10) The content of alpha neoprotein vs. alpha crystallin was estimated separately on the crystallin, cryoprotein and albuminoid fractions in lenses of animals of different species and ages, in lenses with experimentally induced cataracts and in human cataractous lenses.
(11) Although albuminoid preparations are known not to transmit hepatitis, three immunoglobulin preparations for intravenous administration (IV IgG) have transmitted hepatitis, suggesting that the inclusion of a terminal virucidal step is essential.
(12) 3- to 4-month-old) contained alpha neoprotein molecules mainly in the albuminoid fraction; small amounts were also found in the cryoprotein fraction.
(13) The most frequent type of lesion encountered was albuminoid degeneration and hydropic ballooning of the cytoplasm to the point that the parenchyma assumed a "vegetable" appearance.
