ytalbumose (fi-tal'-bu-moz) [pvrov, plant; albu- 

 men]. A vegetable peptone or albumose, found in 

 seeds of the Leguminostz, in flour, and in papaw juice. 

 a-phvtalbwnose agrees with the hemialbumose of Vines, 

 being soluble in cold and boiling water ; yielding also 

 the biuret reaction, and a precipitate by saturation with 

 sodium chlorid only in an acid solution, 3-p/iytalbu- 

 mose is soluble in cold but not in boiling distilled 

 water; hence it is precipitated by heat. It is also 

 readily thrown down by saturation with sodium chlo- 

 rid, and gives a faint biuret reaction.
