Explanation:
The buccal cavity is otherwise known as the mouth cavity.
The first part of the alimentary canal is the buccal cavity.
Digestion occurs also in the mouth.
Digestion begins in the mouth by the help of the enzymes in the saliva.
The food that is digested in the mouth is starch.
Egg albumin is rich in protein and contains the highest amount of proteins in the egg.
The digestion of proteins begin in the stomach and hence egg albumin is digested in the stomach.
Therefore egg albumin cannot be digested in the mouth.
