Abstract

This comprehensive review addresses the multifaceted applications and prospects of Portulaca oleracea, commonly known as purslane. While primarily considered a weed, purslane has garnered increasing interest due to its remarkable nutritional and medicinal properties. Bibliometric analysis was applied to investigate the current research regarding this plant and its effects, identifying predominant research areas. Furthermore, emerging trends and outlines of potential directions for future research were discussed. The various forms of application of purslane were presented, encompassing its use in food, medicine, agriculture, and environmental control practices. The chemical composition, highlighting biologically significant compounds and the methods employed for their extraction, identification, and separation were addressed. These compounds of interest are being incorporated into agricultural practices, food development, and health promotion. In conclusion, our analysis underscores the increasing importance of purslane as a valuable resource with diversified applications and emphasizes its growing role in the academic landscape.
