Abstract:

This study systematically analyzed the Chinese and English academic literature on quinoa research published between 2011 and 2022, aiming to reveal the dynamic changes and future development directions in quinoa studies. The VOSviewer software was utilized for visualizing the literature at both macro and micro levels. From a macro perspective, the field of quinoa research is extensive, covering various aspects such as germplasm resource assessment, genetic breeding techniques, cultivation management strategies, processing methods, nutritional component analysis, and market demand surveys. Notably, in the realms of germplasm resources and genetic breeding, the research indicates that quinoa possesses significant genetic diversity, providing a valuable gene pool for variety improvement and new variety development. Micro-level analysis has highlighted keywords such as nutritional components, antioxidant properties, and polypeptides, reflecting not only the nutritional characteristics of quinoa but also its great potential in the development of functional foods. In terms of future trends, it is recommended to strengthen the collection, conservation, and evaluation of quinoa germplasm resources, promote innovative development in genetic breeding technologies, and optimize quinoa cultivation management and processing techniques. Furthermore, interdisciplinary collaboration, especially synergy among genetics, agricultural science, food technology, and other related fields, along with integrated cooperation between academia and industry, will contribute to enhancing the overall competitiveness and sustainable development of the quinoa industry, and realizing its innovative potential in the global food industry.
