The soluble principle of fibrin, identical with the dominant principle of the white of egg.-Bouchardat. According to others, the ultimate product of the transformation, in the stomach, of albuminoid matters, which renders them fit for assimilation and nutrition. Albuminose is not coagulable by heat, and incompletely so by acids; an excess of acid dissolving the precipitate. Robin and Verdeil regard it as synonymous with the casein of the small intestine of Tiedemann and Gmelin, the gelatiniform matter of the intestine of Prevost and Morin, and the casein of the blood of Dumas. See Peptone.
