Abstract

A keyword analysis of the research in Food Science in Spain is carried out with the objective of discovering the most active lines of research in the period 2003-2014, comparing its evolution with the world research in the discipline. For this purpose, all the bibliographical records of Scopus were downloaded and their keywords were processed to solve the obvious problems of synonymy and to limit the study to those most frequently used. These keywords were grouped in fields and subfields using co-word analysis techniques. This was done with the world production so that we could have a reference for the study at the national level. It is verified that Spain is a great power in scientific research in the field of Food Science, not only by the volume of its scientific production, but also by its quality. Spain stands out especially in the fields of “Food Preservation and Shelf Life” and “Anti-oxidants”.
