Abstract

(From the Conclusion)

This study has focused on the alterations of bone when processed in aqueous solution. The author finds the process of immersing bone in aqueous as an unacceptable manner to process osseous materials. When bone is processed by insects, within a sheltered environment, the loss of inorganic material is almost non-existent. This study has shown that the use of water in almost every case, has caused an alteration in the baseline of the Bone Mineral Content.
