For a better understanding of the current status and development trend of food nutrition discipline， a bibliometrics approach was used to analyze the papers published in SCI-E database over the last 10 years. The results showed that the overall research achievement of global food nutrition has an annual growth trend， especially in the last 5 years increased significantly. The United States ranked first in the number of papers in the world， and China ranked second. Budging from the average cited times， the influence and quality of Chinese papers still lagged far behind that of the United States. Among the top 15 research institutes， the United States and France had the largest number of seats， but China had only one and the phenomenon of low the average cited times. At present， the development of food nutrition shows a trend of interdisciplinary integration， and nutrition and dietetics are the most important direction in food nutrition. The research hotspots around the world mainly focus on the bioactivity and mechanism of food effective components， dietary patterns and disease prevention， intestinal microflora and microflora， food safety and preventive policy. Anaerobic digestion， ultra-processed food， cardiovascular disease， biomas， food toxicity and safety， conventional agriculture and livestock， alternative feed， bioactivity， nutrients， malnutrition， microencapsulation， food frequency questionnaire， biomarkers are frontiers of food nutrition research.
