Abstract. Pulses are essential components of a healthy diet, providing the human body with basic nutrients and having a positive effect on health. In the course of a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on pulse flour, Scopus databases and the R-Bibliometrix software package have been used based on statistical methods of processing publications with the ability to visualize the results to identify patterns. Exponential growth of publication activity is being observed since 2017, which is associated with the declaration of 2016 as the International Year of Pulses by the UN General Assembly and further growth of cooperation between countries. A high percentage of international co-authorship emphasized the participation of various countries in research into the properties and technology of using pulse flour; the greatest contribution has been made by scientists from China, the USA and India. The main topics of research are related to chemical methods of analysis. Thematic evolution and clustering of keywords have been assessed in the time interval during which thematic nodes associated with the terms "enzymes" and "fermentation" remained significant. The development of topics is visualized in the form of thematic maps. The motor topics are those devoted to antioxidant activity, rheological properties, and the study of starch components; the basic and growing topics are those related to fermentation processes and the development of gluten-free product technology. The results obtained can be used by domestic scientists to assess and plan research in the field of studying flour from grain legumes in the context of global trends.
