Cochineal extract, also known as Carmine and Brilliant Scarlet, is a dye extracted from the female Costa cochineal insect ( Dactylopius coccus ). This dye was used by the Aztecs long before Europeans discovered it in the 1500s, as a fabric coloring material that remained vibrant for a long time. Carmine – also called cochineal, cochineal extract, crimson lake, or carmine lake – is a pigment of a bright-red color obtained from the aluminium complex derived from carminic acid. Widely used in Textile industry and Food industry!

Carmine Cochineal Extract has the following effects:

1. Carmine extract [carmine (E 120) or carminic acid] is used directly in food and is also processed further to carmines. Specifications exist for cochineal extract and carmines, both of which contain carminic acid as the colouring principle.

2. Cochineal extract and carmine have a long history as a dye for food, cosmetics,pharmaceuticals, and textiles.

3. The insects are harvested, sun-dried and crushed. They are then put into an acidic solution that produces carminic acid. This creates a very bright red dye that can be altered with the use of borax or other solutions. The pigment that results is carmine extract, and it’s used as a red “natural color” in a range of foods and body products.
