If the body remains for a long time in very humid soils with little ventilation, in addition to maceration, saponification can be carried out: the bacteria that produce the enzyme lecithinase break down the fats of the corpse, transforming them into adipocera (or calcium soap): a kind of viscous shell is formed, with a chalky appearance, first of a soft consistency and then brittle, which maintains the external appearance of the corpse and allows a good preservation of the internal organs. The process usually takes a few months.
