Thermaland non-thermal pasteurization of citrus fruits: A bibliometrics analysis.

Thermal and non-thermal pasteurization (TNP) process of food is not new to food technology, disparities in the merits and demerits of the two pasteurizations necessitate their uses concurrently. Bibliometric analysis of the subject matter is expedient to analyses of database for published publications. Especially to provide times, state-of-the art innovations and prospects of the techniques. In addressing these lacunas, we utilized VOSview visualization to establish connections among crucial elements within a dataset of 495 research publications gathered from Web of Science. This approach facilitated the identification of links and collaboration networks among key factors in the research landscape. Analysis of publications indicate thermal pasteurization is an age long practices, while non-thermal pasteurization is gaining more acceptance. This study exposed ranking differences in scholar's collaboration, citations of scholars, impactful institution and most published countries. United State, China, United Kingdom have largest publications of research in TNP among the top 10 countries. Coupling network and Sankey illustration showed new area of research where new researchers and scholars can begin new phase of findings.
