  • Notes: The present work reports a method for identification of Polish cochineal (Porphyrophora polonica L.) in historical fabrics by the use of high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array and tandem mass spectrometric detection with electrospray ionization (HPLC-DADESI MS/MS). This hyphened technique allows detection and identification of 16 new minor colorants present in the discussed scale insect.
