Descripción
Sumario:Spondias tuberosa Arruda, endemic to Brazil, especially in the semi-arid northeast, represents an important economic base within family farming. The fresh fruit and its processing by the agroindustry have been highlighted by the activity of cooperatives and associations of small rural producers. The objective of the work was to map the scientific, technological and marketing potential of umbu. The Scopus (2000 to 2024), Orbit Intelligence (2003 to 2023) and Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (2018 to 2022) databases were used. As a result, 100 articles and 19 patent families were recovered. There was an increase in the number of articles, focusing on bioactive compounds from umbu. Most of the research and development is led by Brazilian public institutions: 97% of articles and 89.5% of patents. There was an increase (70%) in the production and commercialization of the fruit since 2018. It is suggested that technological development related to the umbu production chain has the potential to increase technological maturity.
