Diana Owsienko

Diana Owsienko, born in 1994, studied food chemistry at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) in Erlangen from 2013 to 2017 and worked on her final scientific thesis at the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging (IVV) in Freising from 2017 to 2018. In 2018 and 2019, she completed professional training as a state-certified food chemist at the Bavarian State Office for Health and Food Safety (LGL). Since 2019, Diana Owsienko has been working on her doctorate at the Chair of Aroma and Smell Research in Erlangen.

Focus

The topic of Diana Owsienko’s PhD thesis is the chemical-analytical and sensory characterization of human body odors. It mainly focuses on the investigation of age-related changes in body odor of children as well as elderly people.  

Methods

  • Instrumental analysis, e.g. one- and two-dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/olfactometry
  • Sensory evaluation, e.g. odor profile analysis

Facts, background information, dossiers

  • human body odors
  • instrumental analysis
  • GC-O/MS
  • sensory evaluation
  • odor profile analysis

    Nano-Rust: Smart Additive for Autonomous Temperature Control

    The right temperature matters – whether in technical processes, for the quality of food and medicines, or the lifetime of electronic components and batteries. For this purpose, temperature indicators record (un)desired temperature increases that can be read out later. Researchers in the gro ... more

    More than a coffee ring

    What do coffee, red wine and ink have in common? The stubborn stains they leave behind. Anyone who has ever knocked over a cup of coffee will know that coffee dries in an unusual pattern, the stain is lighter at the center but it gets darker around the perimeter, an effect known as the coff ... more

    By capsule through the bloodstream

    Bacteria in the intestine pack a wide spectrum of their biomolecules into small capsules. These are transported via the bloodstream to various organs in the body and even absorbed and processed by nerve cells in the brain. This has now been shown for the first time by a team of researchers ... more

    Transfer of aroma compounds into breast milk

    “We are what we eat.” In a way, this quote by the German philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872) also applies to what we feed our offspring: the aroma profile of breast milk reflects a mother's eating habits [1, 2] and can thus influence the preferences of her children ... more

    Colorful off-odors in artists’ paints

    Acrylic-based paints are among the most frequently used by artists. Although they can be produced on a water basis and with low levels of volatile substances, they often still possess a strong inherent smell. However, no targeted studies have as yet been conducted to identify odor-active su ... more

    New Trends in Computer-Aided Drug Design

    Computer-Aided Drug design (CADD) is not new. The Journal of Computer-Aided Molecular Design (Springer) was founded in 1987, when computers in the worldwide top 500 were slower than today’s smart phones. This makes the field a quarter of a century old. Generally, scientific disciplines of t ... more
