Wasabi: The spicy secret to saving ancient Egyptian papyrus

A TEAM OF international scientists has found that wasabi, or Japanese
horseradish, a well-known partner for sushi, can treat and preserve ancient
Egyptian papyrus.
What they discovered: Their findings, published in the Journal of
Archaeological Science, show that wasabi vapors can eradicate microbial
growth, particularly of fungi, in both painted and non-painted papyrus
samples with an “inhibition efficiency of 100%.”
一个国际科学家团队发现芥末或日本辣根是寿司的著名佐料，可以处理和保存古埃及纸莎
草。
他们的发现：他们的研究结果发表在《考古科学杂志》上，表明芥末蒸气可以消除涂漆和
未涂漆纸莎草样品中的微生物生长，特别是真菌，“抑制效率为 100%”。
Microbes are known to damage papyrus, a material used in ancient Egypt, as
well as ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, for documentation. The
scientists also found that wasabi increased the tensile strength of the
samples by 26% without changing their painted color or damaging them.
How the study was conducted: For the experiment, the scientists used a
mixture of wasabi powder and distilled water, which they turned into a “
dumpling-like state.” For the test subjects, they used papyrus replicas
painted red, yellow and blue. They then put the replicas into an oven for 120
days to mimic the aging process before exposing them to various fungal
specimens commonly found on archeological papyri.
众所周知，微生物会损坏纸莎草，纸莎草是古埃及、古希腊和罗马帝国用于记录的材料。
科学家还发现，芥末使样本的拉伸强度提高了26%，而不会改变其涂漆颜色或损坏它们。
研究如何进行：在实验中，科学家使用了芥末粉和蒸馏水的混合物，将其制成“饺子状”
。对于测试对象，他们使用了涂成红色、黄色和蓝色的纸莎草复制品。然后，他们将复制
品放入烤箱中120 天，以模拟老化过程，然后将它们暴露在考古纸莎草纸上常见的各种真
菌标本中。
The replicas were then exposed to wasabi vapor for three days, which yielded
positive results. The scientists conducted a follow-up a month later and saw
similar results.
How it’s possible: The scientists attributed wasabi’s anti-fungal effects
to allyl isothiocyanate (AITC), a chemical compound and colorless oil that
gives wasabi its pungent taste. AITC is known for having antimicrobial
properties against various microorganisms.
What’s next: The discovery promises a cost-effective and more sustainable
alternative for preserving papyri. In the future, the method may also be used
to test on other materials such as wood and paper.
然后将复制品暴露在芥末蒸气中三天，产生了积极的结果。一个月后，科学家们进行了一
项追踪调查，并看到了类似的结果。
怎么可能：科学家将芥末的抗真菌作用归因于异硫氰酸烯丙酯（AITC），这是一种化合物
和无色油，赋予芥末辛辣的味道。AITC 因具有针对多种微生物的抗菌特性而闻名。
接下来：这项发现有望为保存纸莎草提供一种经济有效、更永续的替代方案。将来，该方
法还可以用于测试木材和纸张等其他材料。
