What exactly is FSTA? (Food Science and Technology Abstracts).

 

FSTA, is the abstract and indexing database that solves the time-consuming, frustrating, and expensive discovery process of reliable food research and information.

It’s world-renowned for its 16,000-word thesaurus and for the exclusion of fake journals and fake science.

Everything that is relevant to food science and nutritional health from hundreds of publishers, thousands of journals, and millions of articles, patents and conferences are available.

FSTA gives you the quality answers you want with speed, clarity, and confidence.

IFIS Publishing launched the Food Science and Technology Abstracts (FSTA) database in 1969, and it has since established itself as a trusted resource by researchers, librarians, scientists, students and government bodies in 158 countries across the globe.

The database provides in-depth indexing in food and health, with over 1.84 million high-quality, English language abstracts originating from 60 countries and 29 languages.

FSTA covers a wide range of interdisciplinary content, from journal articles and trade publications to conference proceedings and industry patents.

The research is directly relevant to food from sources carefully vetted by industry experts, and the search functionality has been specifically designed to aid research among the food community.

FSTA is an Abstract and Indexing database with powerful search, alert and data capabilities.
