Abstract: A process to obtain a semi-solid solution to be used as a food coating, obtained from extracts of rosemary and other antioxidant components is disclosed. This process shows various advantages, namely, the obtention of the rosemary extract, which main components are rosmarinic and carnosic acid, and carnosol, are obtained easily without the use of polluting solvents, and showing a good yield and a strong antioxidant capacity. The coating solution has few ingredients and all of them are harmless to human health, beyond being cheap and easy to obtain, allowing the preservation of food in a natural way, without needing additional processing or plastics, in line with many studies that refer this tendency in consumers.
