Abstract
BackgroundThis research article aims to study at molecular level by in silico GRIP docking the effectivity of the detected compounds in value added black tea or VABT, prepared in a chemometrically optimized ratio of Black tea:Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum):Ginger (Zingiber officinale):Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) in combating diabesity.ResultsThe compounds in VABT were identified by liquid chromatography-mass chromatography. Basing on the desirability function, the chemometrically optimized weight ratio of VABT was determined to be 420:50:54:26 (Black tea:cinnamon:ginger:cardamom). Among the identified molecules, phlorizin, 6-gingerol, procyanidin, and epicatechin were docked with insulin receptor kinase, pancreatic lipase-colipase complex, and human FTO. The high negative dock scores of the test molecules in inhibiting the enzymes suggest their potency.ConclusionsThus, the results of in silico studies predicted the potency of VABT in combating diabesity. VABT thus has potency and can serve as a nutrotherapeutic entity against diabesity.

Considering the results of response surface methodology (RSM) for optimizing the ratios of additives with black tea, the process order fits to quadratic design model with Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) values as response 1 and organoleptic scores as response 2
With both responses (1 and 2), the normal plot of residuals helps to measure the number of standard deviations separating the actual and predicted values, and the normality assumption was satisfied with very less scattering of points and fitted almost to a straight line (Fig. 1)
Summary
This research article aims to study at molecular level by in silico GRIP docking the effectivity of the detected compounds in value added black tea or VABT, prepared in a chemometrically optimized ratio of Black tea: Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum):Ginger (Zingiber officinale):Cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum) in combating diabesity. The incidence of “nutrition transition” increase work place stress; involvement in sedentary leisure time has played a great role in increased incidence of chronic diseases. Diabesity is the combined epidemic of type 2 diabetes and obesity. This lifestyle disease is affected by a multitude of pathogenic factors viz. Almost all available treatment options with thiazolidinediones, sulphonylureas, meglitinides, and insulin are associated with weight gain as one of the side effects. Approved anti-obesity drugs are not free of side effects. The changing landscape of treatment strategy has focused considerably on therapeutic
