Answer 2

⭐The best preservative is ethyl alcohol (sometimes abbreviated as ethanol or EtOH), diluted no more than 70% with water. Isopropyl alcohol (isopropynol) will work, but ethyl alcohol is required for any later genetic studies. Specimens needed for genetic studies should be preserved in 90% or stronger ethyl alcohol.Alcohol also serves as a natural solubilizer,preservative, and carrier, helping ingredients in their delivery. ... Alcohol, derived from the fermentation of starch, sugar, and other carbohydrates, can also be used to extract and preserve botanicals, not just finished bases.⭐
