Cochineal is a natural dye that is extracted from the female cochineal insect. Cochineal is used in food and cosmetics, and as a red colorant in some pharmaceutical products. The carminic acid present in cochineal forms a stable complex with the anionic groups present in wool or silk, so it is not soluble in water. Cochineal has been shown to have genotoxic activity and can cause mutations at both the base-pairing level and at protein level. Cochineal has also been shown to be cytotoxic against human serum cells and disrupt mitochondrial membrane potential. Its optimum concentration for signal peptide detection by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was found to be 0.1 mM.
