Purpose

This study reviews and critiques the halal food literature, a growing field of research. In addition, the authors classify the significant themes in this research stream, outline opportunities for future research directions and offer a future research agenda.

Design/methodology/approach

A sample of 221 scholarly articles published from 1997 to 2020 was investigated using the structured literature review method of Massaro et al. (2016). The authors used the bibliometrix R-package and VOSviewer software to mine information about journals, articles, authors, citations, keywords and countries.

Findings

The analysis reveals five research clusters: halal food and the role of certifications, halal food and awareness, halal food production and quality, halal food in tourism management and halal food and the supply chain. The primary research flow comes from Asia. However, collaborations are also emerging in other continents. In addition, scholars should consider stressing the links among halal food and sustainability, innovation and technology.

Research limitations/implications

The study analyses this field from a broad perspective, but only considers articles published in the Scopus database. Future research could extend the research methodologies used by, for example, considering mixed method analysis.

Originality/value

Despite several studies in the field, no studies have thus far reviewed the literature on halal food to the best of the authors' knowledge. Hence, the presented analysis, using pioneering methods considering sustainability and innovation as priorities, provides a starting point for future research.

清真食品：结构化文献回顾和研究议程

目的

这项研究回顾和批评了清真食品文献，这是一个不断发展的研究领域。此外，作者对本研究流中的重要主题进行了分类，概述了未来研究方向的机会，并提出了未来的研究议程。

设计/方法/方法

使用Massaro等人的结构化文献综述方法，调查了1997年至2020年发表的221篇学术文章。（2016）。作者使用bibliometrix R- package和VOSviewer软件来挖掘有关期刊，文章，作者，引文，关键字和国家的信息。

发现

分析揭示了五个研究领域：清真食品和认证的作用，清真食品和意识，清真食品的生产和质量，清真食品在旅游业管理，清真食品和供应链中的地位。主要的研究流来自亚洲。但是，其他大洲也正在出现合作。此外，学者应考虑强调清真食品与可持续性，创新和技术之间的联系。

研究局限/意义

该研究从广泛的角度分析了该领域，但仅考虑了Scopus数据库中发表的文章。未来的研究可能会扩展研究方法，例如通过考虑混合方法分析。

创意/价值

尽管在该领域进行了数项研究，但迄今为止，还没有任何研究可以使作者了解到的有关清真食品的文献。因此，本文提出的分析方法采用了以可持续性和创新为优先考虑的开拓性方法，为将来的研究提供了起点。
