AB This bibliometric study encompasses all publications between 2000 and 2020 on the production of cellulosecontainingfood packaging, often proposed as an alternative to petro-based materials. Results show a fastgrowinginterest in this area, especially during the last decade, with 1029 documents published in highimpactjournals. In a topic where countries such as Italy, Sweden and Spain show high scientific productionper capita, the most influential groups are based in European institutions (Universit`a degli Studi di Perugia andGrenoble Institute of Technology). Among more than 7000 keywords, those with high co-occurrence wereanalyzed to identify not only the most important research areas, but also current knowledge gaps. It was foundthat composites in which cellulose is the reinforcing material, commonly as nanofibers or nanocrystals, arebecoming more frequent than cellulose-based packaging. The matrix of such composites is, generally speaking,another biopolymer, but their potential to replace conventional thermoplastic materials remains under question.
