Abstract

This study aimed to comprehensively understand the main research status and hotspots of inulin at home and abroad, and speculate on the future development trend of inulin research.This study selected English literature from the Web of Science (WOS) core collection database and Chinese literature from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database from 2013 to 2022 as data samples.CiteSpace visualization software was used to visually analyze the publication journals, authors, institutions, countries, and keywords of the selected data.At the same time, clustering and highlighting word visualization analysis of keywords were added to summarize the current status of inulin research at home and abroad.Results indicated that research in the field of inulin was receiving increasing attention and the number of publications was on the rise.The domestic and foreign journals with the highest publication volume were Food Industry Technology and LWT Food Science and Technology, respectively.Six of the top 10 authors in the WOS core collection database were Chinese scholars.The top 10 institutions in the CNKI database and the WOS core collection database included the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Jiangnan University, and the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.From the WOS core collection database, it could be seen that multiple countries had conducted research on inulin, with China having the highest number of publications (890 articles), indicating that China had made significant contributions to inulin research.Although there was cooperation between different authors and institutions, the research fields were relatively scattered and the cooperation was not yet close enough.The keyword analysis of the CNKI database and WOS core collection database showed that most of the research focuses on exploring the prebiotic effects of inulin, and attached importance to the application of inulin in the food field.The analysis of emergent words indicated that the stability, synergistic effect, and biological activity of inulin were current research hotspots.The development potential of inulin is enormous, and its development in the fields of food and medicine will become a trend in future research, especially in food research and development using inulin as raw material.At the same time, the use of inulin as a drug delivery carrier, drug stabilizer, vaccine adjuvant, etc.will become a focus of future research.Overall, this study provides data support for the future research and development of inulin.
