Food Science & Technology Abstracts (FSTA) is the definitive food and beverage R&D database, providing thorough coverage of pure and applied research in food science, food technology, and food-related human nutrition. FSTA is produced by IFIS, the leading international information provider and distributor of food and drink related information – constantly monitoring developments in the areas of food science, food technology and nutrition.

An established, comprehensive and food science centric information resource, FSTA has been created by IFIS’ team of expert scientists, who evaluate, hand-pick and summarize source material to create high quality records of direct relevance and high scientific integrity. FSTA collates and reports the latest developments and research findings in all sciences relevant to food, drink and nutrition.

Nearly every discovery is influenced by earlier research, both in its subject area and in related fields, and a publication can have significant influence and impact on other research after is has been published. When connected to the multidisciplinary citations on the Web of Science™ platform, FSTA links you to a full citation network to accurately and confidently connect you to the highest quality multidisciplinary research.
