Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze scientific publications and patents in order to provide an overview of the use of pineapple flour or powder in human food and nutrition. Data from the Espacenet and Periódicos CAPES databases were used, using the search terms: pineapple and powder, flour and pineapple, pineapple powder and pineapple flour. A total of 339 patents and 45 scientific publications were selected, using as inclusion criteria: patents and scientific publications that used pineapple flour or powder for human nutrition and product development. The entire body of the work was used and the variables studied were: authors, research institution and country, publication vehicle and decade of publication, pineapple part, activity evaluated, product developed and patent classification. It was found that the peel is the by-product most used in research to obtain flour or powder, due to its association with the integral use of the food. There has been a significant increase in interest in the subject since 2011, and among the most developed products are drinks, snacks and yogurts. As for the analysis of activity, it was found that probiotic activity was the most researched. It was clear that China is the country that files the most patents and Brazil the country that produces the most scientific publications on the subject. The bibliometric evaluation showed that scientific production on the subject is distributed in terms of authors, institutions and publication vehicles. It can therefore be concluded that research into pineapple flour or powder is on the rise, with the main focus on flour or powder obtained from the peel of the fruit, with the prospect of further studies to explore the other by-products.
