Former APPO spokesman Marcelino Coache and Flavio Sosa's driver Ignacio García are held in Cosolapa, in Cuenca del Papaloapan.

Capsaicin has been extracted at large scale from chile poblano, presumably by supercritical fluid chromatography. Eight tons of chile yields 1 kilo of capsaicin, valued at 700,000 dollars. Capsaicin is a useful treatment for heart ailments, lumbar pain, ulcers, and for the prevention of the ill effects of diabetes.
