Albumen powder

[kevcurry67]

Any reason not to use albumen powder for coating paper for albumen prints instead of making it from raw egg whites?

The albumen needs to be reasonably fresh, so dried Albumen is less than ideal.

where do you get albumen powder?

It can be done, but make sure it's pure (food grade) to avoid contamination with other chemicals.
If used powder before some years ago during a Albumen course. I can't remember clearly, but I think in the end we prefered the look of real eggs.

Egg white powder is a normal ingredient for the food industry.

Be careful. I used powdered egg whites from Honeyville Farms then they added sodium laurel sulphate as an anti-caking agent and they no longer worked correctly. I recommend using the liquid egg whites you find in cartons in the supermarket.
