Abstract:To investigate the research hotspots and emerging trends of Tremella fuciformis polysaccharides（TFPs）， this study conducted a bibliometric analysis of the literature on TFPs between 2002 and 2023 from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI） database and the Web of Science Core Collection（WOSCC） database with the CiteSpace6.2.R6 software. The results showed that 200 pieces of Chinese literature and 201 pieces of foreign literature were retrieved from CNKI and WOSCC databases， respectively. The number of annual publications had been increasing year by year， especially from 2019 to 2023， during which a surging trend was shown. From the two databases， it was found that the publications were mainly from China， with a total of 377 articles， which accounted for 94.01% of the total amount of literature. There had been cooperative clusters of authors involved in the research in this field in the CNKI and WOSCC databases，indicating that the corresponding research teams had been formed. The two databases showed that institutions with the publications on TFPs were concentrated in Chinese universities， and the journal with the largest number of publications was the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules. The research hotspots mainly focused on the antioxidant activity， extraction process， and immunological activity of TFPs， and their industrial application research was expected to become a new trend.
