Chemometrics in food science and technology: A bibliometric study

Chemometrics has been defined as the discipline that provides maximum information from chemical data. Food science and technology applications use data are therefore suitable for chemometrics evaluation. Bibliometric studies provide an enhanced understanding of progression, research status well future trends a field. The main aim study was therefore, to bibliometric evaluation literature employing techniques in food applications. For this, search strategy including single term chemometric∗ performed. metadata obtained subsequently analyzed. Indicators scientific productivity quality such number articles, citations, or funding activity, were combination with most relevant keywords, authors, countries. progression over time indicators also presented discussed. appeared prolific healthy field increased received last decade. PCA, PLS DA still preferred methods A big part is related combined spectroscopy chemometrics. Finally, China Brazil leading countries applying foodstuffs.
