Abstract:Against the background of intensifying global climate change and increasing complexity of food supply chains，research on food storage meteorology plays a critical role in ensuring food safety，maintaining storage quality，and improving storage efficiency. However，this research field is highly interdisciplinary，with dispersed topics and an insufficiently clarified overall development trajectory and research frontier. To systematically identify the research hotspots and evolutionary characteristics of food storage meteorology in China，this study employed bibliometric methods to quantitatively analyze relevant literature published between 2014 and 2025 in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI） database. After removing duplicate and nonacademic records，1 956 valid publications were retained for analysis. Using CiteSpace and Origin software，visual analyses were conducted from multiple perspectives，including annual publication trends，keyword cooccurrence networks，clustering structures，and keyword burst detection，to reveal the knowledge structure and emerging frontiers of this field. The results indicate that research on food storage meteorology in China has maintained a relatively high level of attention over the past decade. Major research hotspots focus on themes such as storage temperature，storage preservation，controlled-atmosphere storage，and shelf-life prediction，with fruits，vegetables，fresh products，and grain and oil commodities as the primary research objects. The research paradigm has gradually shifted from regulation of single environmental factors to multi-parameter coupling，system optimization，and quality prediction，accompanied by the increasing integration of numerical simulation，sensor-based monitoring，and modeling techniques. Keyword burst analysis further demonstrates that recent research frontiers are evolving toward precise temperature control，intelligent regulation，and the deepening of synergistic mechanisms between the environment and quality. From a macro-level perspective，this study elucidates the research landscape and evolutionary pathways of food storage meteorology in China，providing a valuable reference for future theoretical research，technological integration，and practical applications in related fields.
