FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Guide to Reference Resources

Food science and technology is concerned with all aspects of food -- the chemical and physical properties of food and its constituents, the processing and production of food, and the packaging and marketing of food. Information sources in food science are dispersed among the Chemistry, Middleton and Veterinary Medicine Libraries. The following guides and references serve as an introduction to information sources in the field.

Chemical Abstracts.

1907 -

Shelved in Reference Stacks; newest issues on Index Table.

The premier indexing source for chemical, biochemical, and chemical engineering literature, covering over 12,000 journals and confernces, as well as technical reports, dissertations, books, and patents. There are two basic parts: the weekly abstracts issues, arranged by topics (each issue contains its own indexes), and cumulative semiannual indexes, offering access by chemical substances name, formula, general subject, and author. There are also Collective Indexes covering 10 - or 5 - year periods. Use the printed flyers available in the Library to learn the basics of searching the printed indexes.

Section Sections 79-80 cover topics in Analytical Chemistry.

Other parts of CA to know about:

Index Guide.

Annual thesaurus providing subject headings and controlled vocabulary, cross-references and indexing notes for use with CA's Chemical Substance and General Subject indexes. Located on the Index Table.

Registry Handbook -- Common Names.

Annual microfiche listing of chemical names and synonyms that gives registry number and formula for nearly 700,00 compounds as indexed in CA. The Name Section lists substance names selected from the Registry nomenclature file. The Number Section lists, by registry number, the corresponding CA Index Name for use in the printed indexes, along with synonyms. Next to the online Registry file, this is the best place to find registry numbers for searching in CAS Online, or Index Names for searching in the printed CA indexes.

Registry Handbook -- Number Section. 1965 -

Printed cumulation of all registry numbers assigned by CAS since 1965, showing CA Index Names and formula for searching in the indexes. Check the annual update for cumulative changes. Shelved near the end of the CA index area.

Ring System Handbook. 1988 4 vols. plus supplement

Compound-locating index arranged by the number of rings in a structure, then by the size of the component rings in ascending order (e.g., 5,6,7). Elemental components are arranged in Hill order. Entries give CAS registry number, Ring File number, index name, molecular formula, WLN, and structure diagram. Shelved on the CA Index Table.

CASSI. 1989

Retrospective listing of journal titles, conference titles, and other printed sources abstracted by CA, listed by their established CA abbreviations. Appears every 5 years, with quarterly updates. Very comprehensive. Located on the circulation desk.

Chemical Abstracts is available online after 1967. Available through Dialog/STN or by full-service searches.

Use ONLINE CATALOG to locate books and journals held by the LSU Libraries on this topic. To search by subject, use established Library of Congress Subject Headings from the red volumes near the terminals. Use the subject search field. Relevant general headings include:

Food -- Analysis

Food -- Chemistry

Food -- Drying

Food Industry And Trade -- U.S.

Food Service

Note also that the subheading: -- Analysis occurs under names for substances or classes of compounds,

for example: Beef -- Analysis

Diet -- Analysis

Nutrition -- Analysis

The keyword search is also useful as an alternative search method, to find items lacking in-depth subject headings:

nutrition
