The organic matter in the asteroid has recorded the formation and evolution of organic matter in the early solar system, which provides an important basis for the research on the emergence of early life precursors on Earth, and is significant for the origin and evolution of life. In this study, the composition, types and occurrence of possible organic matter in asteroids have been analyzed. The infrared spectra and influence factors of organic matter have been discussed by simulation experiments. Infrared spectra of three representative organic matter (i.e., glycine, glucose, and eicosane) at different temperatures were obtained by in-situ infrared spectroscopy measurements under temperatures ranging from – 60°C to 30°C in vacuum. In addition, the main types of organic matter of the Murchison carbonaceous chondrite were identified using the infrared spectrometer. The results show that the infrared spectral of different organic compounds are related to the types, structures, temperatures, and pressures. The identification marks of main organic matter on the surface of the asteroids have been determined. And the preliminary parameters of infrared spectrometer for exploring organic matter in asteroids are presented.
