| To the east lay the airstrip built half a century ago, when Wrigley's planes flew in regularly to buy chicle tree resin. |
|
| Then immerse yourself in the exotic oasis of nearby Foster Botanical Garden, and send the kids sleuthing for chocolate, cinnamon, and chicle trees, amid other varieties. |
|
| The tree, which also produces the gum chicle, from which chewing gum is made, was cultivated in the region long before the arrival of the Spaniards. |
|
| Product-specific interpretations of the FSC standard have been developed for certain products, including Brazil nuts, chestnut, and chicle gum, and some certification bodies have their own general NTFP-relevant standards. |

|
| In chewing gum, it could serve as an alternative to petroleum-based resins, which are slow to degrade, and natural ones, like chicle, which must be imported. |
|
| It was therefore hypothesized that the treatment of Chicle Chewing Gum with natural producers o oxygenase would degrade the gum. |
