Abstract

The aim of this work is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the importance of bioactive and nutritional compounds of Anacardium occidentale, based on 123 scientific articles collected from the Web of Science© and Scopus© databases. Using the Bibliometrix package in RStudio, it was possible to map research trends and collaborations in the field. The analysis revealed that publications on Anacardium occidentale began over 22 years ago and have shown significant growth, reflecting the increased academic interest in the antioxidant properties, antimicrobial activities, and nutritional benefits of the cashew tree. Since the last decade, the number of articles has increased exponentially, driven by advances in analytical techniques and the growing recognition of the potential of Anacardium occidentale in natural medicine and nutrition. The analysis also highlighted a growing international collaboration among researchers from various countries. This study provides a detailed view of the current state of research on Anacardium occidentale, highlighting areas of interest and emerging trends, and can guide future studies and practical applications in the fields of health and nutrition.
