Coccinicaci - Introduction
Coccinic acid(Coccinic acid) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C14H16O9. It is a natural product found mainly in cochineal insects, hence the name. The following is an introduction to the nature, use, formulation and safety information of Coccinic acid:
Nature:
- Coccinic acid is a white crystalline solid with a bitter taste.
-It is easily soluble in water and a small amount of organic solvents, such as ethanol and ether.
- Coccinic acid has a low pH, between 2-4.
-It is stable under acidic conditions, but will decompose under alkaline conditions.
