Carmine

Carmine is a natural anthraquinone red dye and the common term for insoluble cochineal-based pigments. Carmine hues follow the same shifts as carminic acid but will precipitate at low pH before becoming orange. Acid-stable carminic acid results in red to violet hues in low pH applications where carminic acid would otherwise be orange. Acid-proofing results from a hydroxyl group being replaced by an amino group. This colorant is utilized in the food industry.
