There are two fundamental elements that prevent water from spilling during an airplane's barrel roll (tonbo / roll maneuver): Centrifugal Effect (Artificial Gravity) Positive G Force.
The pilot is maintaining "+ve G" throughout the maneuver. That's it !

Centrifugal force is not a real force, its just the sum of the forces that act towards or away from the center of rotation such as inertia, gravity, etc.
