Description:Carminic acid is a natural pigment, which is a red dye obtained from the cochineal insect, Dactylopius coccus. This compound is extracted through the processing of these insects, which are primarily harvested from cacti. The mode of action of carminic acid involves its ability to bind with proteins and metal ions, creating a stable colorant that is resistant to heat and light. This stability makes it particularly valuable in applications requiring long-lasting pigmentation.
