The invention also relates to a process for producing a cochineal color which comprises subjecting a cochineal extract solution to proteolysis and then to at least one treatment selected from the group consisting of adsorption treatment, ion exchange treatment, acid treatment, extraction treatment and membrane treatment.

La présente invention concerne un pigment de cochenille exempt de protéines et d'impuretés, provenant de coccus cacti LINNE utilisé comme matière première et susceptible de servir d'allergènes. On peut utiliser ce pigment en toute sécurité dans des produits (aliments, médicaments, etc.) destinés à une administration orale. Cette invention concerne précisément un pigment de cochenille purifié sensiblement exempt de toute protéine d'un poids moléculaire supérieur ou égal à 6000, et un processus de production de ce pigment de cochenille par la dégradation des protéines présentes dans l'extrait de cochenille, puis par un traitement sélectionné parmi l'adsorption, l'échange ionique, le traitement par acide, l'extraction et la séparation membranaire.
