File Description [top]

Food Science and Technology Abstracts (FSTA)^TM is produced by the International Food Information Service (IFIS Publishing), an independent, not for profit organisation whose primary objective is to provide quality information products and services designed to meet the needs of all those working in the food sector. FSTA^TM is the largest and most respected collection of food science, food technology and food related human nutition abstracts. It is compiled by a team of specialist scientists dedicated to producing a database of consistent high quality and timeliness. Continual development of coverage allows FSTA^TM to maintain its position as the market-leading food science database. In 2005, 28,720 new records were added (over 9% more than in 2004) and the target for 2006 is an additional 35,000 records that for the first time will include Japanese patent information.

FSTA^TM covers journal articles (approximately 80%), patents, theses, standards, legislation, books, reviews, and conference proceedings. IFIS works hard to include sources that are not always easy to obtain, making it a key resource for industrial, academic and governmental users alike.
