Food Science and Technology Abstracts platform redesigned
Subject: Health Sciences
The FSTA database is used all over the world by people specializing in studies relating to the food chain, including food science, food technology, health and nutrition.
The Food Science and Technology Abstracts (FSTA) online platform, published by the International Food Information Service (IFIS), can help you locate useful content among scholarly publications on food science.
The platform, which has recently been redesigned, contains the abstracts of over a million papers. You can access all this content provided the Library has access to it or if it is available in open access.
