1. The insect produces carminic acid to deter predation by other insects. 2. The insect produces carminic acid that deters predation by other insects. 3. The body of the insect is 19 22 % carminic acid . 4. Carminic acid was first synthesized by organic chemists in 1991.5. Addition of lime ( calcium ) can give carminic acid lakes a purple cast. 6. Carminic acid can be extracted from the insect's body and eggs to make the dye.7. It uses carminic acid , acquired from its prey, as a defence against its own predators. 8. The chemical structure of carminic acid consists of a core anthraquinone structure linked to a glucose sugar unit. 9.
