thread_title:  Pigment or Dye? 

message: There seems to be some confusion about this issue. There is a Red #40, which is an artificial dye. In the introduction to this article, it says that Carmine = cochineal = Natural Red #40. However,in the section on the European Union, it says:
:and listed under the names Cochineal, Carminic acid, Carmines and Natural Red 4 as additive E 120 in the list of EU-approved food additives.
The Cochineal article says it is Natural Red #4. If you search Wikipedia for Natural Red #4 you are redirected to Carminic Acid.  See also: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110222194700AAQ3Wsl
On the other hand, the Islamic Network thinks "Natural Red #40" is the same as cochineal.  http://www.theislamicnetwork.org/qanda_003.html

Of course, many web pages list it as #40, but that's because they are quoting this introduction verbatim. Does anyone know how to find out what the official names are? Ileanadu (talk) 14:55, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

message: There used to be a picture on this page of the beetles that are used for carmine.  It's now gone.  If it was copyrighted, then understood. But did someone take it out for aesthetic reasons?  If so that is vandalism.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.96.248 (talk) 20:41, 16 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not know what picture you are speaking of, but there still is a picture of the insect on the page. There has not been another image in the page for more than a year, so I doubt its "removal" was vandalism. (Skoot13 (talk) 13:20, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who removed the picture? 

message: I removed the following paragraph:
The carminic acid used to produce the pigment can also be extracted from various microbes engineered for the purpose. Microbes are dissolved in a containment structure separate from their cultivation vats, and then allowed to settle out. The liquid and suspended carminic acid is then siphoned off, and metal salts are then added to give a lake pigment in a procedure that is mostly identical to the procedure for acid extracted from insects.
I searched Google, Google Scholar, Google Books and a professional science library database, and I could find no reference to this process, so I severely doubt that it's a notable source of carmine, or even whether it's been done on anything other than lab scale if at all. --Slashme (talk) 09:06, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
