The three micro spectrum on the galactic center source IRS 7 is compared to a spectrum obtained on the deuterium rich organic polymer extracted from the Orgueil carbonaceous meteorite. The almost perfect match between the two spectra in the 3.4 micrometer region suggests that the chemical composition of the interstellar organic matter resembles that of the meteoritic polymer. The molecular structure of this matter from Orgueil is discussed in comparison with terrestrial kerogens. The fraction of cosmic carbon in this interstellar organic grain material can be calculated by assuming that the carbonaceous extract has the same C/H ratio as the interstellar molecules near IRS 7.
