Methodological framework for supporting phytochemical bioprospecting re-search: A case study on carrot (Daucus carota L.) crop by-products
Carrots are among the most crucial and globally preferred vegetables, widely recognized for their importance as a source of phytonutrients, including phenolic compounds, carotenoids, polyacetylenes, and ascorbic acid. However, its production phase incurs substantial losses, estimated at 30 %; these...

| description | Carrots are among the most crucial and globally preferred vegetables, widely recognized for their importance as a source of phytonutrients, including phenolic compounds, carotenoids, polyacetylenes, and ascorbic acid. However, its production phase incurs substantial losses, estimated at 30 %; these discarded carrots typically find application in animal feed, composting material or organic waste. Therefore, this study aims to develop a methodological framework focusing on the application of a phytochemical bioprospecting process based on scientific surveillance; using carrot crop by-products as a foundational example. Advanced methodologies, such as bibliometric, scientometric, and patent analyses, supported by technological tools such as VOSviewer and Patent Inspiration, were employed. This involved the creation of scientific landscapes, trend maps and co-occurrence networks, intending to explore the potential of carrot crop by-products, their applicability in generating new knowledge, and their utilization in the industry. This approach facilitated the identification of emerging trends in scientific research, providing a comprehensive view of commercial and industrial areas of interest, with a focus on circular economic principles. Furthermore, the study emphasized the importance of bioprospecting, supported by these methodologies and technological tools, as a key factor in the research process on the potential uses of carrot crop by-products, which could extend to other matrices. |
