Carotenoids are a class of naturally occurring pigments responsible for the vibrant colors in many fruits and vegetables. Beyond their well-known role in human nutrition and health, carotenoids hold untapped potential in a variety of industries, including cosmetics and fragrances. This study aims to explore the advancement of research related to the utilization of carotenoids for fragrance, specifically by analyzing bibliometric trends using the Crossref database and VOSviewer software. Sample articles were downloaded in RIS format obtained from Publish or Perish and then processed using a VOSviewer to visualize and analyze trends in the form of bibliometric maps. The data collected were 2000 papers in the period 2014-2024. The frequency of keywords can be adjusted as desired and less relevant keywords can be removed. By leveraging VOSviewer, the distribution of bibliometric maps is presented through three distinct visualizations: Network visualization, Density visualization and Overlay visualization. This bibliometric analysis reveals a diverse and interconnected landscape of carotenoid research. Analysis was conducted to see the potential of carotenoids in biofragrance. From the visualization, one of the small nodes is “carotenoid esters” which has a positive relationship with ionone, apocarotenoid and carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase. This highlights the potential of carotenoids in new applications such as biofragrance.
