Abstract

Honeybees transform flowers' delicious, aromatic, and viscous nectar into the naturally occurring, antioxidant-rich honey. A growing scientific study increasingly supports honey's use in complementary and alternative medicine. No bibliometric analysis of published data on honey antioxidants has been conducted to ascertain the state of the research. Using VOSviewer and RStudio, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of the scholarly articles about honey's antioxidants in the Scopus database. Honey's antioxidant properties were covered in 765 papers between 2013 and 2023. Most publications (309 articles) are attributed to Malaysian researchers, with Universiti Sains Malaysia being the most productive, with 53 articles produced. Food Chemistry is the most productive source, with an average of 64.8 citations per article and 24 documents. Having the highest H-index of 10, Battino M significantly influenced the honey's antioxidant properties studies. "Honey" and "antioxidant activity" were the most frequent keywords. We can learn about the novelty of honey as an antioxidant research from this results.
