由于国外生产的药用口香糖的价格和供应的不确定性，寻找一种可接受的美国替代品将是有利的。因此，研究了美人蕉胶，一种从美人蕉科美人鱼茎中渗出的物质，发现它是一种有效的、无毒的乳化剂和潜在的国外生产的口香糖的替代品。由于每株植物可获得的天然口香糖的量不大，所以研究了增加其产量的方法。在花茎上做不同类型的人工切割，给予植物特殊的溶液，并进行新鲜的茎的提取。这些方法中的任何一种都没有产生所希望的量的口香糖，因此，正在进行进一步的研究。
Because of the expense and uncertainty of the supply of foreign-produced pharmaceutical gums, it would be advantageous to locate an acceptable American substitute.Canna gum, an exudate from the stalks of Canna generalis ( Cannaceae ) was studied, therefore, and found to be an efficient, nontoxic, emulsifying agent and a potential substitute for foreign-produced gums now in use.Since the amount of of the gum available naturally per plant is not large, methods of increasing its production were investigated.Artificial incisions of various types were made in the flowering stalks, the plants were fed special solutions, and extractions of the fresh stalks were undertaken.None of these methods produced the desired quantity of gum, and therefore further studies are being conducted.
