The word "albulactin" can be broken down into three parts: "albu" (meaning "white"), "lac" (meaning "milk"), and "tin" (a suffix used in biochemistry to denote a protein). The pronunciation of this word is as follows: /æl.bjuːˈlæk.tɪn/. The stress falls on the second syllable, "lact". The spelling of this word can be explained by its Latin roots and the use of scientific terminology to describe a protein with whitening effects, potentially useful in the cosmetics industry.
Trade name of a soluble lactalbumin, in the form of a fine powder containing 5.22 per cent. of salts and 12.71 per cent. of nitrogen, employed in the modification of cow's milk for infant feeding.
