Carbohydrates are the first biochemical to undergo decomposition in the dead human body.? Their decomposition is what contributes to the awful smell, the bloating, the color changes that accompany death.? Therefore,?the reason why it is recommended that a body is embalmed as soon as possible after death is that we want to stop the breakdown of the carbohydrates.? Proteins are also important, with their enzymes and amino acids and all that, but the biochemical that embalmers are most concerned with are the carbohydrates.?? Do you agree with this??
