Abstract:Based on China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI），Wanfang Data，and Web of Science（WOS），the data on the application of hyperspectral imaging technology in the food industry were screened by bibliometric methods，and the data were subjected to visualization. The results showed that a large number of research papers on this subject existed in both China and the rest of the world，with an overall increasing tendency. There was more cross-team cooperation abroad，which needed to be strengthened in China. The research hotspots of the subject in China and other countries were non-destructive testing and food safety，respectively.With the continuous development of hyperspectral imaging technology，it shows significant potential for food industry research.
