Abstract
Many trees, widely disseminated in Venezuela, produce gum exudates of potential economic interest. Investigations have involved gums from species belonging to the Meliaceae (León de Pinto et al 1996a), Anacardiaceae (León de Pinto et al 1995) and Mimosaceae (León de Pinto and Corredor 1986, León de Pinto et al 1993, Martínez et al 1996).
