Abstract

Socio-Cultural Significance of Yerba Maté among Syrian Residents and Diaspora. Syria is the world's second-largest importer of the dried leaves of Ilex paraguariensis A.St.-Hil., commonly known as yerba maté. The unique story of yerba maté in the Syrian beverage culture started at the beginning of the twentieth century when Syrian migrants returning from South America brought the beverage with them. The overall aim of our study is to understand yerba maté use among Syrians and its role as an essential part of the Syrian beverage culture. We compare yerba maté consumption on spatial, gender, and religious bases through semi-structured interviews with 50 respondents, with equal participation among genders, place of residence, and cultural-religious groups (Sunni, Alawite, Christian, Druze, and Ismaili). We found that the Alawite and Druze groups have the highest yerba maté consumption, and that men drink more than women. Yerba maté was the most preferred stimulant drink among participants, followed by coffee and tea, respectively. Interviews reveal social and cultural factors, perceived addiction, perceived pleasure, and perceived health properties as the drivers behind yerba maté consumption in Syria.

叙利亚居民和散居海外的人对马黛茶的社会文化意义。

叙利亚居民和散居海外的人对马黛茶的社会文化意义。叙利亚是世界上第二大巴拉圭冬青干叶进口国。通常被称为巴拉圭马黛茶。叙利亚饮料文化中独特的马叶茶故事始于20世纪初，当时从南美返回的叙利亚移民将这种饮料带到了他们身边。我们研究的总体目标是了解叙利亚人使用巴拉圭酒及其作为叙利亚饮料文化重要组成部分的作用。我们通过对50名受访者的半结构化访谈，在性别、居住地和文化宗教团体(逊尼派、阿拉维派、基督教、德鲁兹派和伊斯玛仪派)的平等参与下，比较了巴拉圭酒在空间、性别和宗教基础上的消费。我们发现阿拉维派和德鲁兹派的马叶茶消费量最高，而且男性比女性喝得多。参与者最喜欢的兴奋剂饮料是巴拉圭香叶，其次是咖啡和茶。访谈揭示了社会和文化因素、感知成瘾、感知愉悦和感知健康属性是叙利亚马叶茶消费背后的驱动因素。补充资料:在线版本提供补充资料，网址为10.1007/s12231-021-09523-6。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
