Methodological framework for supporting phytochemical bioprospecting re-search: A case study on carrot (Daucus carota L.) crop by-products.

ABSTRACT: 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. Thi
