Using the Web of Science© database, 55 articles were identified and submitted to bibliometric analysis using the VOSviewer software. Key findings and conclusionsIt was observed that this fruit has been explored in the medicinal, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. Nonetheless, bacupari has been little explored in the field of food science, and no research has ever been carried out on its pulp. The published studies reveal that the bacupari fruit is rich in bioactive compounds, and therefore has great potential foar food applications.
