Abstract:In order to capture the cutting-edge progress in the research on the integration of dairy products and artificial intelligence, and explore the future technological development direction of the dairy industry, this study employed CiteSpace for a visual analysis of the literature on artificial intelligence and dairy processing in the Web of Science Core Collection, thereby identifying research hotspots, knowledge bases, and frontier trends. The research adopted bibliometric analysis, including publication volume analysis, co-authorship network analysis, cocitation analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis, and keyword burst analysis. The study found that among the 566 papers, China, the United States, and India ranked the top three in terms of publication volume; machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, spectral technology, and "quality and safety" formed the core knowledge clusters; the strongest burst word "traceability" indicated that the research was shifting from local process optimization to full-chain digital traceability. A closed-loop technical system of "perception-decision-makingtraceability" has been established in this field. China needs to strengthen international cooperation and standard formulation, convert data resources into industrial competitiveness and discourse power in standard formulation,and promote the high-quality development of the dairy industry.
