“…Regarding the use of the taberna as a remedy for some gastrointestinal diseases; Romero-Luna et al (2017) pointed out that the taberna, among other traditional drinks, contain beneficial microorganisms for health, since they improve the balance of the intestinal flora, thereby reducing the risk of gastrointestinal diseases. In studies carried out in taberna, an autochthonous microbiota composed of lactic and acetic bacteria and yeasts has been found (Alcántara- Hernández et al, 2010;Santiago-Urbina et al, 2013, 2015Luján-Hidalgo et al, 2019), which possibly confer probiotic potential to the beverage, as pointed out by Coutiño et al (2020), who also point out that the taberna contains bioactive compounds, such as phenolic compounds, vitamins, short-chain fatty acids, among others; that can be generated by the microbiota developed during the fermentation of the sap, or come directly from the plant. Regarding the custom of attaching a red ribbon to the stems, Zuart-Macías et al (2013) also describe this practice, to avoid excessive and sudden acidification of the taberna, caused by the admiration of people who are not familiar with it, even commenting that some producers prevent the passage of strangers to the place where the stems of the palms in production are located.…”
