Bibliometric Analysis of Near-infrared Spectroscopy in Global Food Areas

As a convenient and rapid nondestructive testing technology, near infrared spectroscopy has been widely used in food research due to its advantages of simple operation, low analysis cost and strong reproducibility. In order to understand the evolution trend of near-infrared spectroscopy application in the global food field, this paper uses online literature analysis platform, online word cloud mapping platform and CiteSpace visualization software to analyze the evolution trend of near-infrared spectroscopy application. A bibliometric analysis of 584 papers on near infrared spectroscopy in food field published in science core collection of Web of Science data base from 2010 to 2021 was carried out. Present condition and development prospects are introduced from the time and space distribution of literature, influence and cooperation relationship between countries/regions and relevant institutions, research hotspots and research frontiers.
