基于文献计量学的国内外魔芋研究进展分析

Research Progress of Konjac Study in China and Aboard Based on Bibliometrics

魔芋作为一种优质的膳食纤维及特色亲水胶体资源日趋受到关注,为进一步了解魔芋研究的现状、发展规律和动态趋势,采用文献计量法,以Web of Science的SCIE数据库中有关魔芋研究的文献为基础,通过多维度统计分析,着重概述了2009—2018年10年间的研究情况,并与之前所发表文献进行对比,综合展示了魔芋研究的发展历程。结果显示:2009—2018年,魔芋研究的发文量远超以往任何时期的水平,显示出迅猛的发展势头;亚洲地区有关魔芋研究十分活跃,这与产业分布与发展动态的演化相符,中国学者在魔芋研究方面处于领先地位;化学和高分子方向是魔芋研究持续的热点领域,食品科学技术方向的研究亦愈发受到重视,尤其是其作为亲水胶体的复配、增稠、凝胶等方面。近年来,魔芋作为优质膳食纤维的健康功效也已得到关注,但缺乏深入研究;此外,魔芋在农业、药理与制药等方向的研究尚需加大关注度,以为魔芋在健康领域和生物领域的应用奠定理论基础。

Konjac has gained increasing attention as a high-quality dietary fiber and hydrocolloids resource.In order to further understand the current status,growing trends and developing patterns of konjac research,the research situation in the past 10 years from 2009 to 2018 based on the literature on konjac research in the SCIE database of Web of Science was surnmarized using bibliometric method.Through a multi-dimensional statistical analysis,the development process of konjac research was comprehensively demonstrated and compared with the previously published literatures.The results indicated a rapid development momentum of konjac research in 2009—2018 since the amount of published research paper in this period far exceeded the levels of any previous periods.Among them,research in Asia was very active,which was consistent with the evolution of industrial distribution and development.Besides,the Chinese scholars were in a leading position in konjac research.The directions of chemistry and polymers were continuous hot fields of konjac research,and research in food science and technology was gaining more attention,especially for its compound,thickening and gelation as a hydrocolloid.Moreover,the health properties of konjac became more popular in recent years,but related research was still inadequate.In addition,the konjac research in terms of agriculture and pharmacology still needed more attention to lay the theoretical foundation for the application of konjac in the field of health and biology.
