In the last decades, the concern with the destination of organic residues generated by the urban environment has constantly increased.Alternative techniques for the disposal of these materials in landfills, and current management methods, have been the focus of much research.Vermicomposting has proven to be a viable technique for processing and utilization of this waste, especially raw food waste such as fruits, vegetables, and legumes.These wastes may contain secondary metabolites of commercial interest.From the composting process, these materials are transformed into humus and bioslurry, materials rich in nutrients and widely used as biofertilizers.The existence of substances, such as mangiferin, in these wastes, indicates the potential of humus and bioslurry to also present other activities, such as biopesticide.In this study, the vermicomposting process was carried out with waste enriched with mango, a food rich in mangiferin, and the presence of this secondary metabolite in the humus and bioleaching was monitored during the vermicomposting process.The analyses were done using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS).The study revealed that the organic material to be composted when enriched with mango waste presents mangiferin.During the vermicomposting process, this substance follows several routes, being detected in the bioslurry (0.021-0.069 mgL -1 ) and in the humus (0.002 mgKg -1 ).The bio insecticidal potential of the obtained humus was not performed in this work, but in comparison with control composting a lower incidence of Drosophila melanogaster flies inside the digester boxes and of fewer insect larvae in the bioslurry collection boxes was found.Further studies can be conducted to evaluate the bio insecticidal potential of these products.
