The objective of study was to identify the emerging topics of scientific production published in mainstream journals, their visibility and synergies through an approach of unidimensional and multidimensional bibliometric indicators (BIs) on Dactylopius coccus, carminic acid (CA) and its derivatives, from 1980 to 2019. The BIs were obtained with the information software programs Excel®, bibliometrix, and VOSviewer. During the period of study, an increase was seen in the publications where scientific articles in English predominate, concentrated in two journals: Food Chemistry and Journal of Raman Spectroscopy. I. Karapanagiotis was the author with the highest productivity; the authors with greatest influence in the generation of new knowledge were M. Leona (576 citations) and F. Casadio (568 citations), both from the United States of America (USA). The main research was focused on the identification, characterization and analysis of CA with different techniques. Other emerging and innovating topics that stand out were the application of CA in solar cells, and its therapeutic properties as antioxidant and for cancer prevention. Some of the recurring topics are related to biological aspects of the insect, the secondary effects associated with the consumption or exposure to CA, its use as dye of natural or animal fibers, and its applications as a food additive.
