This article examines the comprehensive utilization of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) within the framework of a social innovation process aimed at strengthening both organizational and productive capacities. To this end, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using records retrieved from the Scopus database. The findings reveal that scientific production on the agro-industrial transformation of pigeon pea has exhibited sustained growth over the past two decades, reaching its peak in 2024. This trend reflects the growing global interest in food diversification and sustainability. Moreover, the bibliometric analysis identifies three principal research trajectories: the development of functional flours derived from pigeon pea, comparative studies on its nutritional value and food quality, and investigations into the chemical, structural, and taxonomic characterization of both the grain and its flour.
