ABSTRACT

The maceration of soft tissues from skeletons is a critical technique in forensic and anthropological research; however, there is no standardized method for effective bone maceration, particularly for surface analysis. This study aimed to develop an optimal maceration protocol using detergents readily accessible in Korea to ensure practical and reproducible application. Experiments were conducted on pelvic bones from 42 fixed Korean cadavers and one fresh cadaver, comparing the effects of two types of detergents—non-acidic/non-bleach cleaner & degreaser and oxygen-based bleach—at 1% and 10% concentrations.
