Flavokermesic acid is an anthraquinone dye that can be detected in extracts of insects from the family Diaspididae, and it is a minor pigment component thereof. Flavokermesic acid can be used to investigate the biosynthetic pathways of insect-derived anthraquinone pigments [1].
In Vitro, Flavokermesic acid can be used to investigate the biosynthetic pathway of insect-derived anthraquinone pigments[1].
