Carry out a spectroscopic study of various materials of organic origin, specifically residues from various processes, both biological and agro-industrial, in order to study their structural characteristics in their main functional groups, since their nature can determine the viability of a process of recycling to obtain new products. Some of the organic materials studied were of great importance because these materials can be susceptible to transformation through various processes such as

Leaf samples from the Moringa plant (Moringa Oleifera), orange peels (Citrus sinensis), as well as leachate from the vermicomposting process of the Californian red worm (Eisenia foetida) were analyzed. The results obtained indicate a different composition, but in turn, show similarity in some specific bands, such as carboxylic acids, OH groups, methyl groups, as well as some aromatic groups in the case of citrus fruits. The importance of this research lies in the fact in the study of the transformation processes of these wastes, for future applications.
