Integrate essential food science and agriculture data with market intelligence

Are you a food engineer who has to identify new and emerging technologies in food science or agriculture? Are you a market analyst or strategist who must verify new markets for food products? Does your job entail regulatory work that requires compliance with legal requirements on labeling and additives? Are you an attorney who protects intellectual property and researches prior art for a large food company? Are you a CEO looking for acquisitions to expand your product base? If any of these describe your research role in the food and beverage industry, the ProQuest Dialog databases are just what you need.

The food science industry is diverse, and the food manufacturing cycle encompasses all of the relevant areas from distribution and retail through to production, food safety and quality control. ProQuest Dialog provides a comprehensive collection of databases to research food science and agriculture from R&D through marketing products. Take a look at some of these authoritative files:

• CAB Abstracts's subject coverage is extensive. A leader in agricultural research, CAB Abstracts^® contains more than 9,000 serial journals, books, reports and conference proceedings on agriculture and related sciences including crop science and protection, animal and veterinary sciences, and food and nutrition, including food science and much more. CAB Abstracts is the ideal resource to answer your varied needs.
• Foodline^® databases—Science, Product and Market—are solid, go-to resources on the food and drinks industry. Key industry journals, books and patents monitor advances in technology, new packaging innovations and novel applications of existing technology. Find detailed analyses of international food and drink markets, that identify key players, highlight new product launches, assess consumer attitudes and retail trends, and track company news.
• Food Science & Technology Abstracts (FSTA), a leading database of information on food science, food technology and nutrition, links R&D to practical applications, providing a comprehensive source for food science—all in one database—with information for each phase of the food manufacturing cycle. Material from more than 4,600 serial publications published in up to 40 languages, patents and theses, conference proceedings, legislation and standards provide comprehensive coverage from discovery to market.

The success of any search depends greatly on the sources investigated. Through its databases that focus on food science, agriculture, chemistry, health, nutrition, and the life sciences, ProQuest Dialog gives you access to numerous publications that contain journals, monographs, theses, conferences, meetings, patents and books. ProQuest Dialog standardizes the content and indexes it, making it easier to find the right data from different providers.
