Research Status and Hot Prospects of Pine Polyphenols Based on Statistical Analysis of Big Data

This study focused on systematic literature measurement and visual analysis of “pine polyphenols” to explore the research status, cutting-edge dynamics, and hot prospects of pine polyphenols, with a view to providing theoretical references for research of relevant personnel. In addition, literature related to pine polyphenols included in the 2005~2022 CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and WOS (Web of Science) core collection databases had been used to conduct the data visualization analysis on the publication volume, authors, publication countries, research units, and keywords of sonpolyphenols through the Cite Space scientific knowledge mapping tool and bibliometric analysis platform. As shown by results, the overall number of articles published about pine polyphenols in Chinese tended to decrease, while English presented an upward trend. With Wang Zhenyu and Garcia D (Garcia Danny, Garcia D) as the core authors of the Chinese and English articles, research on pine polyphenols has yet to form a stable research group. China is a country that has studied the most pine polyphenols, followed by Spain and the United States, with Northeast Forestry University and Harbin Institute of Technology as the main research units, and the CSIC (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, CSIC) and the UC (University of Concepcion, UC) as the main research units internationally. Combining a timeline knowledge map and keyword prominence analysis, this study determined that Chinese and English research mainly focuses on anti-oxidation, anti-tumor, isolation and purification, etc., and speculated that the future development direction of pine polyphenol is research on chemical components, expansion of functional activity, and application in the pharmaceutical industry and health products.
