Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main ingredients of Cochineal Carmine?

Cochineal and carmine are all derived from the same substance, and their main components are carmine acid. This acid is derived from the female carmine parasitic on cactus plants.
The process of collecting and drying the carmine can be obtained. To obtain the carmine, it is refined in one step, and the carmine is synthesized with gold seeds such as carmine and carmine to form the carmine pigment.
The chemical formula of carmine acid is\ (C_ {22} H_ {20} O_ {13}\), and its molecules have functions such as multi-carboxyl groups and carboxyl groups, which give it special properties. In an acidic environment, the color of rouge is fixed and clear; in an acidic environment, it may be degraded or biodegraded, resulting in a change in color.
The color of rouge is good, and it is often used for dyeing. In the dyeing of materials, it can make the fabric look good in color, and the color fastness is good; in the fields of food, chemicals, etc., it is also commonly used as a color material to add a bright color. When used, it should comply with the law to ensure its safety and harm.

Where are Cochineal Carmines Usually Used?

The color of the rhubarb, the ancient "true vermilion", is also known as "Dan". The name of the rhubarb today is mostly due to the color of the rhubarb (Cochineal) and the foreign rhubarb (Carmine). Both of these are useful in many domains.
The first is in the rhubarb domain. Since ancient times, the rhubarb has always sought a lasting color. The color of the rhubarb is beautiful and light-resistant. It can be used in oil, watercolor, and pastel-like methods to make the rhubarb shine. In the past, such as some Western classical oils, the color of the rhubarb may be used to keep the rhubarb for thousands of years.
Furthermore, food is also often used. Because of the natural harm of the two, it can be used as a food coloring. In cakes and ingredients, it is often reflected in the body. For example, the candies dyed by some colored candies, or some colored products, all add color to the color and make people eat it.
is also indispensable. If you want to make the color of the food good and not easy to fade, it is good to make the rouge foreign. In ancient times, printing and dyeing, there were those who dyed the two dyes, and the cloth was dyed. The color was dull, and it was washed for a long time without fading. In addition, chemical products are also useful. The lipstick and cheek fat, if you want to get the color of the skin, these two can be used as raw materials. On the face, the color is natural and long-lasting, helping women to add color.

What are the advantages of Cochineal Carmine compared to other similar products?

In terms of its color, it is bright and pure, stable and stable, and compared with other seeming people, it has all kinds of advantages.
The various seeming colors are either taken from minerals or derived from chemical synthesis. Although they are gorgeous at first glance, they are inferior to cochineal red and magenta.
First talk about the purity of color. Cochineal red and magenta, their colors are naturally pure, not mixed with other colors, red like danxia, bright and fresh, without the slightest sense of darkness. On the other hand, either due to impure refining, or due to the wrong synthesis ratio, the color is often variegated, like a dark cloud, it is difficult to show the pure beauty.
Secondary discussion on the stability. Both of these can maintain their color for a long time under different environments. The sun does not fade, the water does not change the color, and the years pass, and they are still as bright as ever. And other colors are easy to decompose when exposed to light, and easy to smudge when exposed to water. It is difficult to stand the test of time.
Furthermore, it is related to the safety of use. Cochineal red and magenta are derived from natural insects and are harmless to the human body and all things. However, other types may contain harmful ingredients, which pose a potential danger to human health and pose a risk of pollution to the surrounding environment.
Look at the wide range of their uses. Whether it is silk brocade, painting danqing, or food to enhance color, it can be adapted. Other types or confined to a certain domain, it is difficult to be as universal as the two.
It is said that cochineal red and magenta have many advantages over other seemingly similar things in terms of color, stability, safety, and use. It can be called a good color material.

What is the production process of Cochineal Carmine?

The workmanship of Cochineal carmine is as follows:
Carmine, which is taken from the female medium. This is mostly sent to the cactus plant. To obtain the carmine, catch the female first. When it is mature, collect it with manual care, and do not destroy it. Catch it, or dry it with water, or steam, and it will die without color. And when it is dry, you can get the crude product of the carmine. The color of this coarse product is already clear, but it still needs to be refined before it can be used as a high-quality color material.
The manufacture of the carmine begins with the cochineal medium. The cochineal fat is placed in water and added to dissolve the middle color. Its color, the water color, from light to dark, is the color of the color. Then add the bright and other things to make it heavy. This heavy thing, that is, the shape of the rouge. Wash with clean water and sink, remove the color, and make the color. Its color, or dry into powder, or paste into paste, then the finished rouge.
The production of these two requires careful operation, grasping the heat and the degree of materials used. In this way, you can obtain high-quality color and high-quality technical rouge for use in cooking, dyeing, etc.
