• Physical properties: Carmine occurs as bright red, friable pieces or as a dark red powder. It is soluble in alkali solutions, slightly soluble in hot water and practically insoluble in cold water and in dilute acids. CARMINE
• Uses: carmine is a crimson pigment. This is the aluminum lake of the coloring agent cochineal, a natural pigment derived from the dried female insect Coccus cacti. Carmine may cause allergic reactions. Carmine [CAS: 1390-65-4] is the trade name for the aluminum lake of the red anthraquinone dye carminic acid obtained from the cochineal bug. The dye is obtained from the powdery form of cochineal by extraction with hot water, the extracts treated with aluminum salts, and the dye precipitated from the solution by the addition of ethanol. This water-soluble bright red dye is used for coloring shrimp, pork sausages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It is the only animal-derived dye approved as a colorant for foods and other products. Carmine is the red colorant aluminum lake of carminic acid which is the coloring pigment obtained from dried bodies of the female insect coccus cacti. it is brilliant red to purplish in color, having a low tinctorial strength, and can be solubilized in ammonia. it is used in a pink color in coatings.
