Over the past two decades, both academic and industrial interest in olive bioactive compounds has grown significantly due to their remarkable health benefits, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective properties. These compounds, found in both olive fruit and leaves, have become a central focus in the research on functional foods and nutraceuticals. A comprehensive bibliometric analysis of scientific publications from 2000 to 2024 highlights a notable increase in this field, with 2228 documents published in high-impact journals with an estimated annual growth rate of 0.2694 year^-1, particularly in the last decade. This surge reflects the growing recognition of olive bioactive compounds' potential in promoting human health through nutritional and therapeutic interventions, and their role in the expanding nutraceutical industry. This growth is further reaffirmed by patent analysis, which shows a significant rise in industrial interest and patent filings related to olive bioactive compounds. The analysis also examined nearly 6000 keywords to identify the most influential research domains, pinpoint knowledge gaps, and reveal the most important bioactive compounds in olives and their potential in preventing various human diseases.

Keywords: Mediterranean diet; bioactive compounds; functional foods; nutraceuticals; oil; olive.

在过去二十年里，由于橄榄生物活性化合物显著的健康益处（如抗氧化、抗炎和心血管保护作用），学术界和工业界对这些化合物的兴趣大幅增加。这些化合物存在于橄榄果实和叶子中，已成为功能性食品和营养补充剂研究的重点领域。从2000年到2024年的科学出版物全面文献计量分析表明，在这一领域的发表量显著增长，有2228篇文档被高影响力期刊收录，并且在过去十年的年度增长率约为每年0.2694份文章。这种激增反映了人们对橄榄生物活性化合物在通过营养和治疗干预促进人类健康方面的潜力的认识不断提高，以及它们在不断扩大的营养补充剂行业中的作用。这一增长还得到了专利分析的支持，显示了工业界兴趣和与橄榄生物活性化合物相关的专利申请数量的显著增加。该分析还检查了近6000个关键词，以确定最具有影响力的研究领域、识别知识缺口，并揭示橄榄中最重要的生物活性化合物及其在预防各种人类疾病方面的潜力。
