The present study aimed to perform a bibliometric analysis regarding Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) for horticultural products and its effectiveness in postharvest management. A literature search was conducted using the Scopus database with the keyword "Modified Atmosphere Packaging". The retrieved articles were imported into Mendeley software version 1.19.8 for attribute verification. A total of 117 articles met the inclusion criteria. The bibliometric database was analyzed using the Bibliometrix package on R version 4.2.2 and VOSviewer version 1.6.18. The analysis revealed that the most frequently occurring keywords included shelf life, food preservation, biodegradable packaging, gas composition, and smart monitoring systems. The most widely cited articles addressed gas composition optimization, postharvest quality maintenance, and sustainable packaging solutions. The USA, China, and India emerged as the leading contributors to MAP research. Despite its benefits, high costs, lack of standardization, and limited real-world applications pose challenges, particularly in regions with inadequate infrastructure. The study highlights emerging preservation techniques, such as high-pressure processing and ozone treatment, which enhance MAP’s effectiveness. Future research should focus on large-scale field trials, cost-effective innovations, and sustainability assessments to optimize MAP applications in postharvest management.
