Nanopartículas de cobre, Propiedades antimicrobianas, Postcosecha, Agricultura sostenible, Análisis cienciométricoResumen
La pérdida de cultivos y productos de postcosecha representa una preocupación global con implicaciones directas en el desarrollo sostenible y la seguridad alimentaria. Entre los principales factores contribuyentes, los fitopatógenos destacan por su impacto persistente, planteando un desafío constante para el sector agrícola. Aunque se han implementado diversos productos para controlar su proliferación, los métodos convencionales han mostrado impactos negativos significativos en la sostenibilidad de los ecosistemas. En este contexto, el presente estudio realiza un análisis exploratorio cienciométrico utilizando las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science (WoS), con el fin de examinar el potencial de las nanopartículas de cobre (CuNPs) como una alternativa sostenible para el tratamiento postcosecha. Se identificaron y analizaron un total de 1.121 documentos publicados entre 2004 y 2024. Los resultados revelan un crecimiento constante en la investigación sobre este tema, con un incremento notable a partir de 2017. China, India y Estados Unidos lideran la producción científica, mientras que autores como Kumar A. y Singh R. emergen como figuras clave en el desarrollo de técnicas de síntesis verde y aplicaciones antimicrobianas. El análisis de redes identificó temas centrales como la biosíntesis de nanopartículas, su actividad antifúngica y bactericida frente a patógenos comunes, y su aplicación en recubrimientos comestibles. Este estudio proporciona una visión estructurada de los avances en el uso de CuNPs, subrayando su viabilidad para reducir las pérdidas postcosecha y promover prácticas agrícolas más seguras y eficientes.
