Abstract

The demand for pharmaceutical products based on bioactive compounds obtained from byproducts and manufactured by sustainable technological routes is a worldwide demand to the circular economy transition. In this review, a bibliometric analysis on jabuticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora) research over the last 21 years was conducted to identify prospects for the sustainable production of bioactive compounds from its by-products. The Web of Science (c) database was used and the dataset was analyzed on VosViewer (c) bibliometric software's to perform maps based on the main keywords. In total, 255 articles and 5 reviews were published related to research on jabuticaba. The bibliometric analysis elucidated that Food Science Technology was the main research area, and the most frequent keywords on the field were associated with anthocyanins, demonstrating that there is a trend in determine the optimum extraction method of this bioactive compound from jabuticaba. Furthermore, this review provides direction for the production of bioactive compounds (gallic acid, cyanidin, malvidin, peonidine, petunidine, pelargonidine, and many others) in different sustainable technological routes (ultrasound-assisted extraction, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, and pressurized liquid extraction) using jabuticaba's byproducts as feedstock.
