• Alteration — The act of altering or becoming altered and its result; a process of degradation, spoiling, decomposition, or distortion of the physical, chemical, or biological properties of a body or substance. In an abstract sense, it represents a falsification of the truth or a deep deterioration of relationships or emotional states.
• Ammonification — The biological and chemical process of decomposing nitrogenous organic substances (such as proteins, amino acids, or urea from plant and animal residues) by soil microorganisms (ammonifying bacteria and fungi), resulting in the release of nitrogen as ammonia or ammonium ions. This stage is fundamental within the natural nitrogen cycle, transforming complex compounds into mineral forms accessible to plants.
• Antiputrefactive — Preventing, halting, or combating putrefaction; a chemical substance or pharmaceutical preparation that destroys bacteria and microorganisms causing the decomposition of organic tissues. In a medical and antiseptic sense, it describes disinfecting agents that prevent the septic degradation of wounds, ensuring the preservation of biological structures or the sanitization of surfaces exposed to microbial contamination.
