#Carmine, also called #cochineal, is a pigment of a bright-red color obtained from the aluminium complex derived from carminic acid.
Synthetic carminic acid is complex to produce. Therefore, natural cochineal carmine is predominant on the market.
To prepare carmine, powdered scale insect bodies are boiled in an ammonia or sodium carbonate solution. #Gelatin may be added to modify the precipitation.
To obtain 1 pound of red dye, one needs 70,000 cochineal bugs.

Check out these three "super-leverage points" identified in new study by University of Exeter and World Resources Institute. #PlantBasedProteins are #2 on list. Key Takeaway: "If public institutions such as schools, hospitals and governments used their purchasing power to buy #plantbased proteins instead of meat, this could be a “powerful lever to increase uptake of these products,” the report authors said. This policy change could also help shift #socialnorms around #plantbasedproducts and increase their appeal, Tim Lenton said. Moving away from #animalproducts would have the added advantages of cutting #farming emissions, freeing up land to support #wildlife and #carbonstorage, and reducing incentives for #deforestation."
