Best Answer

Salt is used to stop the decomposition of flesh. It has been used in the preservation of meat for many years. However some preparation would probably be required for the preservation of a a whole body. and there would be changes in the state of the state of the flesh. As can be exemplified in the difference in eating a raw herring or anchovy and eating one that was preserved in salt.
