Abstract：The experiment aimed to systematically review the research progress and current status in the field of mulberry leaves through bibliometric methods.Using the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)and Web of Science(WoS)databases as literature data sources,CiteSpace software was used to visualize and analyze mulberry leaf related literature published from 1996 to 2024,revealing the development trends and hotspots in this field.The results showed that the research field of mulberry leaves had gone through three periods of exploration,development,and prosperity,showing a fluctuating growth trend overall.A research system centered around Chinese scholars and institutions had been formed in this field,and the collaboration network between authors and institutions was relatively close,but international cooperation still needs to be strengthened.The research hotspots mainly focused on optimizing the extraction process of mulberry leaf polysaccharides,the effects of mulberry leaves as feed additives on animal growth performance,and the application of mulberry leaf bioactive ingredients in the medical field.The study shows that mulberry leaf research has formed a multidisciplinary interdisciplinary research system with China as the core,and research hotspots are gradually expanding from basic extraction processes to high-value utilization(such as feed resources and biomedical applications).Future work should strengthen international cooperation,deepen the mechanistic analysis of active ingredients,and advance industrial applications to promote the comprehensive development and utilization of mulberry leaf resources.
