Sugar, lemon juice, and cream of tartar can all be added to egg white foams to increase their stability. Sugar helps to strengthen the foam by making the water more viscous, lemon juice lowers the pH which can help stabilize the foam, and cream of tartar (an acid) also lowers the pH, helping the proteins in the egg whites to bond more tightly.
