Note: The e introduced in the English word is probably after the Latin cära. The words of the French physician and chemist Antoine François de Fourcroy in Annales de Chimie, Volume 8 (Jan., 1791), pp. 67-70: “These last characteristics©, as well as its brittle sound quality© and often greasy fabric, bring it© closer to wax. ©The only substance analogous to this adipose wax found©in the human body is the white, crystalline design© that constitutes the laminated©stones of the fall glass©. “(“These latter properties, as well as its bran, fragile quality and frequent grain make it similar to wax. The only substance comparable to this adipozer that I have found in the human body is white crystalline concretion, which consists of foliar stones in the bile duct. There was no trace of adipocera – the particular waxy soap that forms in bodies that disintegrate in water or in a wet situation. Much less often, the fetus is transformed into a yellowish fat mass, to which the term adipocerus is applied. This fatty substance, sometimes waxy, is called adipocera or grave wax. OMG – I totally thought it was a corpse that was turned into an Adipozere. Tomb wax (adipocera) tends to be a strange, smooth substance and, if it has had time, relatively hard and brittle (not always; it depends on the conditions).

Accessed September 29, 2022. “Wrapped in Adipocera, the Basicranium, packed under the palate.” Hatchitoline or stone fat is sometimes called adipocera; And bog butter is a substance that almost resembles it. He was the first to observe and describe this strange product of meat decomposition, known to modern chemists as adipocera. In addition, dead animal matter38 can be treated more cost-effectively than in the production of artificial adipoceras. Nora turned to the body and studied the edges of the flesh, where the right leg must have been immersed in water; The visible tendons and ligaments appeared frayed, and she could see a layer of adipozer under the skin — ordinary body fat turned into a yellowish, waxy material — a common feature of the preserved remains. The autopsy on the exhumed body of Perrotte Mace was inconclusive due to the condition of the adipozers. Etymology: [L. adeps, adipis, fat + cera wax: cf. F. adipocere.] The corpses of infants and overweight people are particularly susceptible to the transformation of the adipozer.

borrowed from the French adipocire, to adipo- adipo- + wax “wax”, back to the old French, return to the Latin cÄra â plus at cerumen. Fatty substance of the spermaceti type created by the decomposition of animal matter in humid places. Soft, supple or waxy substance of light brown color, in which the adipose and muscular tissue of corpses is sometimes transformed, by a long immersion in water or by burial in damp places. This is a consequence of fat degeneration. Adipocera, also known as corpse, grave or corpse wax, is a waxy organic substance formed by the anaerobic bacterial hydrolysis of fat in tissues, such as body fat in corpses. In its formation, rot is replaced by a permanent solid flow of adipose tissue, internal organs and face. ad′i-pō-sēr, n. a fatty and waxy substance resulting from the decomposition of carcases in damp places or underwater, but not exposed to air. [By Mme de L. adeps, adipis, soft fat, and Cera, wax.] Brown, fatty and waxy substance (fatty acids) that forms on dead animal tissue in response to hydrolysis.
