Thinking of the ultimate survivability, Wouldn't the worlds most powerful preservative be a source for preservation of the deceased efficiently?

Chemicals considered to be sweet are very good preservatives, Wouldn't the Sweetest Substance in the World be the ultimate Preservative?

If we embalmed an Animal with the sweetest substance on Earth and then encased the Animal in the Sweetest substance on Earth and then brought down the temperature just to freezing point of the sweetest substance wouldn't its Biological essence be extremely preserved?

This is a question, not a Spectulation.

What are you suggesting is the sweetest substance on earth? Sweetest to whom or what? How do you define "sweet'?
