- Description
- Food Science and Technology Abstracts (FSTA) is the premier resource for all aspects of
food science including biotechnology, food safety, functional and novel foods, food
additives, nutrition, and packaging. The database is international in scope and covers
over 1800 resources on food science such as journals, books, and conference proceedings.
FSTA provides for quick searching of keywords from the titles and abstracts or advanced
searching which is for searches of FSTA subject headings and the ability to combine search
statements.
A three year subscription to FSTA Direct is supported through a USDA/CREES Higher Education
Challenge Grant.
- Help
-
As FSTA is produced in Great Britain, you may need to use British
spellings in your searching and British terms such as biscuits when searching for cookies.
Extensive help is included online, much of it page specific.
