Abstract: Brazil has a great diversity of exotic, native, and tropical fruits with great potential to be explored, such as mangaba (Hancornia speciosa). However, there is little knowledge about these fruits, their nutritional benefits, and their sensory attributes. In view of the technological potential of mangaba, with its high production (up to 12 ton/ha) and its rich bioactive composition, interesting for the production of fruit and dairy products, this study aims to review, in-depth, the state of the art of mangaba using a mixed methodology. For this, a search was carried out in the Web of Science© database, followed by a selection of works that were analyzed using the VOSviewer software. It was found that Brazil and its research institutions present themselves as the largest producers of research on the subject, and that, studies with mangaba have stood out mainly in the areas of agronomy, food science and technology, and pharmacy. Many studies were dedicated to identifying and quantifying bioactive and nutritional compounds and they report mangaba has antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, antidiabetic, and other properties. Thus, it is possible to conclude that Mangaba and its derivatives have great potential to be used mainly in the food and pharmaceutical industry. Hence, it is expected that in the next years, research related to in vitro/in vivo studies and new product development keep being the trend Ver menos
