This study aimed to determine the effect of the administration dose, combinations with co-antioxidants (vitamin C, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid, catechin, rutin), and different food matrices (cooked and lyophilized hen eggs, chicken breast, soybean seeds, potatoes) on the potential bioaccessibility of rosmarinic acid (RA) in simulated digestion conditions, depending on the digestion stage (gastric and intestinal) and the contribution of physicochemical and biochemical digestion factors. The in vitro bioaccessibility of RA depended on the digestion stage and conditions. The physicochemical factors were mainly responsible for the bioaccessibility of RA applied alone. The higher RA doses improved its bioaccessibility, especially at the intestinal stage of digestion. Furthermore, the addition of vitamin C and protein-rich food matrices resulted in enhanced intestinal bioaccessibility of RA. In the future, the knowledge of factors influencing the bioaccessibility of RA can help enhance its favorable biological effects and therapeutic potential. •Bioaccessibility of RA was influenced by dose, co-antioxidants and food matrix.•Low doses can limit the intestinal bioaccessibility of rosmarinic acid (RA).•Bioaccessibility of RA depends on the digestion stage and corresponding conditions.•Physicochemical digestion factors mainly affect the bioaccessibility of RA.•Protein-rich food matrices and vit. C can enhance intestinal bioaccessibility of RA.
