Abstract

en el estudio se analizan las principales tendencias en producción científica y tecnológica en el área de nanotecnología de alimentos. El propósito se centró en conocer su evolución y así poder identificar oportunidades potenciales de innovación, con base en sus principales usos y aplicación en la industria alimenticia. Se utilizó la Vigilancia Tecnológica, indicadores cienciométricos, así como la teoría de redes y grafos para la visualización y análisis del comportamiento de las principales áreas de investigación y desarrollo tecnológico, con base en el tema de estudio. Se identificaron ocho potenciales oportunidades de innovación en el área: nanopartículas, nanomateriales, nanocompuestos, nanoemulsión, nanoencapsulación, microencapsulación, nanorecubrimientos y nanosensores; las cuales están influyendo notablemente en el desarrollo de la industria de alimentos y se han convertido en elementos claves de investigación y desarrollo tecnológico a nivel mundial. El uso y aplicación de la nanotecnología en la industria de alimentos han aumentado rápidamente en las últimas décadas y su constante evolución ha tenido una gran contribución en el desarrollo de la industria. ****** This study analyzes the main trends in scientific and technological production in the field of food nanotechnology. The purpose is to describe their evolution and thus identify potential opportunities for innovation based on their main uses and applications in the food industry. Technology Surveillance, scientometric indicators, and graph and network theory were used to visualize and analyze the behavior of the main research fields and technological development of the subject under study. We identified 8 potential innovation opportunities in the area: nanoparticles, nanomaterials, nanocomposites, nanoemulsions, nanoencapsulation, microencapsulation, nanorecovering, and nanosensors. All of them are significantly influencing the development of the food industry and have become key elements of research and technological progress worldwide. The uses and applications of nanotechnology in the food industry have rapidly expanded in recent decades, and their constant evolution has made a great contribution to the development of this sector.
