Hello. You have not introduced the methods used to denature the egg albumin. However, the most efficient protein denaturation method is the heating method.

The denaturation of a protein, such as albumin, occurs when an element causes the complete destruction of the protein's three-dimensional structure, in a completely irreversible way. The best way to do this is through heat. In this way, through a heating method, the heat breaks the hydrogen bonds that promote the structure of the protein, leaving it completely denatured.
