Abstract

Table salt, also known as sodium chloride, is a crucial ingredient in embalment fluid. It helps to preserve the body by dehydrating the tissues and controlling the growth of bacteria and fungi. While it may seem surprising that such a common household item is a crucial component of embalming, the science behind its use in this context is both fascinating and essential This article explores the importance of table salt in embalment fluid and its role in the embalming process.
