Resumo
The economic and scientific interest in Hancornia speciosa (mangabeira) has been growing
in recent years, mainly due to the marketing of fruit and extraction of natural compounds with high
pharmacological potential. In this study, a scientometric survey about mangabeira was carried out in order
to promote and direct future studies on the species. As a result, low scientific productivity associated with
this species was found, with only 131 articles published in the last 69 years. In addition, this study identified
some trends in bibliographic production on mangabeira, among them: the increasing number of articles over
the years; scientific dissemination in nationwide journals; the main focus of this study is associated with
agronomic studies; the experimental approach is more frequent and usually associated with populations
of restricted geographical distribution; and the scientific production is mainly from education institutions.
Furthermore, this study also allowed the identification of some gaps in knowledge about mangabeira, among
them the difficulty in describing and characterizing botanical lines; lack of analysis of the genetic diversity
of widely distributed populations; lack of management and conservation projects for the species; lack of
description of cultivation, collection and preservation techniques of fruits; and lack of identification of natural
compounds responsible for its pharmacological activity. It is expected that the data generated in this study
will serve to direct future studies on H. speciosa.
