How much volume does a liquefied human take?

A group of aliens are off to save the human race from extinction caused by a Lovecraftian monstrosity.

In order to accomplish this feat, they go to Earth in order to harvest as many humans as possible to restart the race while keeping as much diversity in the gene pool as possible.

The thing is, the aliens don't have time to introduce themselves and have the humans sort themselves out. So they arrive one day and start abducting people for the greater good. In order to store the humans they have acquired, they liquefy them in-order to save...how much space on their craft exactly?

I would like to know how much volume a liquefied person takes up if they were stored in the most spatially-economical vessel (a cube or rectangle, though cylinders might be needed if under pressure.)

(Don't question how they are liquefied only to come back normally afterwards. We are dealing with Clarketech here.)
