Cáscara de cacao, Economía circular, Análisis cienciométrico, Biocombustibles, Valorización de residuosResumen
El aprovechamiento de la cáscara de la mazorca de cacao (CPH) es esencial para crear fuentes adicionales de ingresos debido a sus propiedades químicas y para reducir los residuos asociados al procesamiento del cacao. La valorización de este subproducto no solo contribuye a la economía circular, sino que también mejora la sostenibilidad ambiental al disminuir la generación de residuos y la huella ecológica de la producción de cacao. El contenido de celulosa y hemicelulosa en la CPH presenta un potencial significativo como fuente de carbohidratos para la producción de biocombustibles; además, su alto contenido de polifenoles y capacidad antioxidante la posicionan como un insumo prometedor para las industrias alimentaria y farmacéutica. Este estudio realiza un análisis cienciométrico utilizando las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science para examinar las tendencias globales en la investigación sobre el uso de la cáscara de cacao, identificando los principales países productores de conocimiento, los autores más influyentes y las áreas de aplicación emergentes. Los resultados subrayan la transición hacia modelos de producción de residuo cero y la importancia de la innovación biotecnológica en la cadena de valor del cacao.
