Food neophobia is the tendency of individuals to avoid or feel apprehensive about new or unfamiliar foods. This tendency can be influenced by various factors such as age, cultural background, educational level, and previous experiences. Food neophobia is particularly prevalent among children and the elderly and can significantly affect their eating habits and dietary choices. Bibliometric techniques are methods used to analyze the quantitative data of scientific publications, evaluating the development of research areas and the scientific impact of authors and journals. This technique helps to identify which topics and researchers are prominent in the academic world through metrics such as the rate of publication dissemination and research networks. The aim of this study is to present the bibliometric profile of all these published studies on food neophobia. Accordingly, the study provides a comprehensive overview of the research conducted on this topic. The data for this research was gathered using the YÖK National Thesis Center, with the scanning process conducted between August 5-10, 2024. The analyzed theses address the effects of food neophobia on foreign tourists' intentions to purchase traditional Turkish dishes, food choice factors, and revisit intentions. Specifically, the impact of personality traits such as food neophobia and sensation-seeking on tourists' local food consumption values, destination image, and behavioral intentions were studied. Additionally, the relationship between food neophobia and attitudes towards East Asian cuisine and the search for variety, was explored. A significant portion of these theses focuses on detailing the role of food neophobia in tourism, particularly its impact on foreign tourists.
