A typical bone has an outer layer of hard or compact bone, which is very strong, dense and tough. Inside this is a layer of spongy bone, which is like honeycomb, lighter and slightly flexible. In the middle of some bones is jelly-like bone marrow, where new cells are constantly being produced for the blood.

What organic portions of bone was removed by baking?

Baking bone primarily removes organic portions, particularly collagen, which is the main protein component, along with other organic materials like lipids and some non-collagenous proteins. The high temperatures involved in baking cause these organic components to undergo pyrolysis, resulting in the loss of structural integrity and a transformation into ash. This process leaves behind the inorganic mineral content, primarily hydroxyapatite, which provides the bone with its rigidity and strength.
