Chemische Eigenschaften
Cochineal is a red coloring material from the dried bodies of the female insect Coccus cacti and harvested from cultivated
cacti. The raw material is obtained primarily from the Canary Islands and parts of South America. Boiling cochineal with mineral
acid produces carmine red (ClH12O7). Precipitating a mixture of cochineal and alum produces a bright red pigment. Cochineal is
used as a color additive in food, drugs and cosmetics. It is also used as a microscopic stain and biological marker.
