Food experience, Gastronomic experience, Bibliometric reviewAbstract
Objective of the study: The purpose of this research is to carry out a bibliometric review on “Food Experience”. The study aims to develop area mapping, so far little explored and in an embryonic stage in Brazil.
Methodology/Approach:The time span of the study was a period of twenty years, from 1999 to 2019. The search in the Web of Science database resulted in 187 articles, and there was no filtering. Finally, the results were extracted from the database and downloaded to CiteSpace.
Originality / Relevance: The work has its originality in providing a research overview, which can encourage future studies on food experience, guiding them on the main trends regarding the concept. Furthermore, the term food experience still does not have a clear definition and is inserted in a dispersed field of study. Therefore, bibliometric mapping would help its structuring.
Main results: There has been noticed an increase in the volume of publications in recent years. The main authors who work with the theme were mapped. Food experience studies focus on the areas of quality and impact of the service, as well as consumer satisfaction. Indexing takes place mainly in the areas of business, social sciences and tourism.
Theoretical/methodological contributions: In 2018, there was a gradual increase in articles about food experience, which indicates that the topic is contemporary. It is suggested that new bibliometric research be carried out with the SCOPUS base. Furthermore, a systematic review could be developed to fully understand the concept, applications and research agendas within food experience.
