The factor that most directly determines the amino acids that are combined to create albumin is the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA. This sequence encodes the information for the synthesis of the protein through the processes of transcription (where DNA is transcribed to RNA) and translation (where the RNA is translated into a specific sequence of amino acids).
