protein/albumin



There is a gismu {lanbi} which apparently serves for "protein", "albumin", and 
"egg white". The vocs are:
zulalun
albiumin
albumin
danbai
lavan
bilok;
in which "dan" is Chinese for "egg", "bilok" sounds like the Russian for 
"white" with "-ok" added, and "lavan", though Hindi, sounds suspiciously like 
the Hebrew for "white". I know German nutrition labels say "Eiweiß" for 
"protein", but to me they are different: egg white is a part of an egg, 
albumin is a protein in egg white, and there are other proteins, such as 
myosin. So what words should we use to distinguish them?

Also, the def in the gimste appears to be missing x3: x1 is a quantity of 
protein/albumin of type x2 composed of amino acids (sequence/jo'u).
