Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis of Ampelopsin Researches

Objective: Ampelopsin is the most potent bioactive agent in vine tea.The past thirty years have seen increasingly advances in the field of ampelopsin research.However, there have been no bibliometric studies examining this field as a whole.It would be interesting to assess the prevailing topics and citation performances of its research works. Methods:The currently analyzed bibliometrics data were extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection database using the search string TOPIC= ("ampelopsin*" OR "dihydromyricetin*") and analyzed using the VOSviewer software. Results:The literature search resulted in 566 manuscripts.Nearly more than 75% of them were published since the 2012s.The most contributing country is China, which account for more than half of all manuscripts.These publications were mainly published in journals representing such scientific disciplines as biology, agriculture, food chemistry, nutrition, and medicine.Then it analyzes the recurring keywords and the recurring terms from the title and abstract.Chemicals that were frequently mentioned in the keywords of evaluated ampelopsin publications included ε-viniferin, resveratrol and flavonoids. Conclusion:Compared with other fields, the field of ampelopsin is still in infancy.The distribution of researches is imbalanced and cooperation between countries, organization and institutions remains to be strengthened.Furthermore, basic food chemistry research occupies an absolute dominant position, and the exploration of the clinical application of ampelopsin may become a key point in the future.These results can serve as a quick baseline for researchers or the general public members.
