In ancient Egypt, the following things were commonly done to preserve corpses:
* Soft tissue and organs would be removed, because they decompose quickly. * Bodies would dried over a varying course of time in a substance called "natron" and it's attributes were similar to salt. This didn't wasn't practiced until the Middle Kingdom, however. (Before, the heat of the desert was relied upon) * Mummies would be wrapped in linen to keep out invading organisms (insects, etc)
Chemicals used in current day embalming are: formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, methanol and ethanol.
Sodium bisulfite, chemical formula NaHSO3, is a white solid that is soluble in water. It can be used as a reducing agent in various chemical reactions and as a food additive to preserve the freshness of food products.
Cryogenics involves preserving bodies or tissues at very low temperatures, typically in the hope that future technology may be able to revive them. Mummification, on the other hand, is a process used in ancient times to preserve bodies through desiccation and embalming. While both involve preserving bodies, they are different methods with different goals.
An archival agent is a chemical substance or material used to protect and preserve items or documents from deterioration or damage over time. These agents are commonly used in libraries, museums, and archives to ensure the long-term preservation of materials.
Lactic acid bacteria can help preserve milk by producing lactic acid through fermentation, which lowers the pH of the milk and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. This process is commonly used in making yogurt and other fermented dairy products.
Natron; a form of salt
the chemical they use in ancient Egypt was, Notron.
Embalming fluidThe chemical to preserve bodies is Natron
there is not a chemical but more like a sticky sap called resin that was used to embalm or preserve bodies of the wealthy & pharaohs
Because they wanted to clean the bodies
a fluid called natron and is used in acient Egypt and used today but science will be finding new ways of using natron to help perserve bodies
