POLTOX also contains two other useful data bases Toxline (described earlier) and the Food Science and Technology Abstracts (FSTA) libraries. The FSTA component is a reasonably comprehensive collection of information regarding toxicological aspects of compounds found in food, including contamination, poison, and carcinogenic properties. The CD-ROM product is available from Compact Cambridge, 7200 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814.

The determination of the thickness of the layers of fat and lean tissue in animal flesh is the most popular use of ultrasound in the food industry at present [5,6]. In fact there are over a hundred references pertaining to this application of ultrasound in the Food Science and Technology Abstracts (1969-1993). In contrast to most other applications of ultrasound in the food industry, which have rarely developed further than use in the laboratory, there are a number of commercial instruments available for grading meat quality [6, 30-32]. This application is based on measurement of time intervals between ultrasonic pulses reflected from boundaries between layers of fat, lean tissue and bone. Ultrasonic techniques have the advantage that they are fairly cheap, easy to operate and give predictions of meat quality of live animals. Other examples of thickness determinations include liquid levels in cans or tanks, thickness of coatings on confectioneries, egg shell thickness. 

Faculty of Pharmacy, MUG. Since 2000, he has been the head of the Department of Food Sciences, MUG. He has published approximately 200 papers, 17 book chapters, three books published by Elsevier and CRC Press Taylor Francis, and approximately 300 symposial abstracts. He has been a member of approximately 30 national and international scientific associations and organizations (including nine editorial boards, e.g., The Science of the Total Environment), for example, the International Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) and WG Marine Board—European Science Foundation. He has visited 14 countries as a visiting professor or research scientist. Dr. Szefer has reviewed approximately 600 manuscripts for more than 60 journals. He received several scientific awards, for example, one from the Scientific Secretary of the Division VII of the Polish Academy of Sciences nine awards from the Minister of Health and a joint award from the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Natural Resources, and Forestry. His research is focused on food and marine chemistry, and bioanalytics. 

Tn a typical week in 1973, the number of abstracts referring to enzymes listed in Biological Abstracts was over 60 less than 10% of that number appeared in Food Science and Technology Abstracts as actually or potentially significant in food. We estimate the enzyme industry to be about 25 million domestically and 100 million worldwide. Of this, food applications are about 15 million domestically and 45 million worldwide (in 1973).

The PolTox series from Silver Platter, Inc., provides information on pollution and toxicology. PolTox I contains Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts, Ecology Abstracts, Food Science and Technology Abstracts, Health and Safety Science Abstracts, Pollution Abstracts, RISKLINE, Toxicology Abstracts, and all of TOXLINE. PolTox II contains information derived from EMBASE and PolTox III information from the CAB Abstracts database. 

Thus, looking to the NMR keyword in Food Sciences and Technology Abstracts, on CD-ROM, until June 1996, we could find only one book exclusively dedicated to the NMR field [14]. The same search revealed several books speciahzed in a particular food stuff or covering general analytical techniques, having a chapter in NMR. The present chapter is by no means trying to cover this gap, but only to draw attention to various aspects of NMR in food sciences, literature data being one of these aspects.

From all of this it follows that anyone wishing to keep reasonably up-to-date with the progress of dairy science must trust to abstract journals. Chemical Abstracts has a rather limited range for the dairy field. Moreover papers of interest to the dairy chemist may be found not only in section 12 on foods but may also, according to subject matter, appear in such a section as analytical chemistry or in the subsection on nutrition under biochemistry. 

Shortly after this activity was initiated, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were given responsibility for providing more specific access to health-related information about drugs and chemicals. It was decided at that time to build a data base from the chemical registry system which would fit the specific requirements of NLM and FDA. A subsidiary project was established with Chemical Abstracts Service as part of the chemical registry contract, which is administered by the National Science Foundation. The data base was built from information available in the files of NLM and FDA and from approximately 40 standard reference sources on drugs and chemicals.
