the first chewing gums were made from the latex sap of the sapodilla tree of Central America. This sap was known as chicle. Other natural gum bases such as sorva and jelutong were aso used. beeswax and paraffin wax were also used as a gum base.modern gums are made with synthetic rubber, replacing most natural rubbers in Chewing Gum with such things as polyethylene and polyvinyl acetate.
