One of the main chemicals used in ancient Egypt to preserve bodies was natron, a natural salt compound found in Egypt. Natron was used in the mummification process to dehydrate the body and prevent decomposition.
Calcium oxide (CaO) has various uses. It is commonly used in the production of cement, as a desiccant to absorb moisture, and in the production of paper and glass. Additionally, it is used in agriculture to adjust soil pH and as a component in certain chemical processes.
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.
It is easier to determine the chemical structure of dead tissues because chemical reactions that break down tissue stop occurring after death. In living flesh, ongoing biochemical reactions can alter the chemical composition and structure, making it more challenging to analyze. Additionally, the preservation methods used on dead tissues can help stabilize their chemical structure for analysis.
Dr. Raquel Fortun is noted as the first Filipino forensic pathologist who used DNA fingerprinting in identifying unrecognizable dead bodies. She is known for her expertise in forensic pathology and has made significant contributions to the field in the Philippines.
