| Abstract |
The use of natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES), combined with sustainable technologies for recovering bioactive compounds from plant matrices, aligns with the principles of green chemistry and the circular economy. This study utilized the Web of Science (c) database to explore scientific publications related to the extraction of bioactive compounds from fruits and their residues using natural deep eutectic solvents. The search terms included "natural deep eutectic solvent*" OR nades AND fruit* AND "phenolic compound*" OR "bioactive compound*" AND waste AND pomace AND "by-product*" AND agrowaste. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer and Bibliometrix software (R package) to survey scientific production and evolution from 2011 to September 2023. A total of 927 articles were retrieved, and 2022 was identified as having the highest number of documents (n = 248). China led in publications (n = 834), and there was a noteworthy cooperation network between countries (n = 72) with 483 collaboration records. The primary research areas involving the use of NADES for bioactive recovery from fruit waste were Chemistry (n = 226/24.4%), Food Science and Technology (n = 170/18.3%), Chemical Engineering (n = 135/14.6%), Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (n = 130/14.0%), and Physical Chemistry (n = 103/11.1%). Five main clusters were identified, revealing diverse interests in the physicochemical properties of NADES and methods for identifying compounds of interest. In conclusion, the bibliometric survey indicates a sustained and notable interest in elucidating extraction mechanisms with NADES, which will enable the application of extracts in several industries, including pharmaceutical, chemical, and food. |
