What is Pepsin Action on Albumen Experiment about?

The document describes an experiment to study the enzyme action of pepsin on albumen. Albumen does not dissolve in water but forms a milky suspension. Pepsin requires an acidic pH around 2 to function optimally. The experiment involves adding albumen, pepsin, and hydrochloric acid to test tubes in different combinations. After 20 minutes, the test tube with albumen, pepsin and hydrochloric acid showed a clear suspension, supporting the hypothesis that pepsin requires an acidic environment to digest protein.
