C09F) - Y02P: CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE PRODUCTION OR PROCESSING OF GOODS ## Abstract A composition of matter comprises a shelf stable, partially defatted supercritical CO2 fluid solvent extracted whole grain flour derived from a cracked biomass of perilla frutescens, the flour comprising minerals and 2 to 8 percent of native seed oil, 35 to 45 percent protein, and 35 to 45 percent fiber. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method of treating cardiovascular disease in humans or animals by administering an effective amount of a dietary supplement, food or beverage that has added thereto a composition comprising a shelf stable, partially defatted supercritical CO2 fluid solvent extracted whole grain flour derived from a cracked biomass of perilla frutescens, the flour comprising minerals and 2 to 8 percent of native seed oil, 35 to 45 percent protein, and 35 to 45 percent fiber. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, and further comprising forming a beverage, liquid concentrate, or dried beverage pre-mixes to which the composition is added. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, and further comprising preparing liquid concentrates or dried pre-mixes including protein shakes, fruit smoothies, ready-to-drink beverages, dry beverage pre-mixes, frozen fruit concentrates, aqueous alcoholic beverage pre-mixes, concentrates or their dried pre-mixes, vitamin, carbohydrate and protein fortified meal replacement beverages, drinkable dairy and non-dairy yogurts, gravies and dry gravy pre-mixes, and ready-to-drink and dried pre-mixed infant formulas. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, and further comprising thickening a resulting final beverage by adding one or more acidulants for adjusting the pH from between about 3 to about 6.5. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the flour contains about 2 to about 3 percent fructo-oligosaccharides. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the flour exhibits pH dependent thixotropic properties when mixed with water. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the flour comprises about 32 to about 40 percent insoluble fiber and from about 2 to about 6 percent soluble fiber. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the flour comprises one of at least lipophilic and hydrophilic additives. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the flour is formed as a delivery product for introducing ALA, LA, protein, soluble and insoluble protein and minerals to the dietary supplement, food or beverage. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method according to claim 9, wherein the delivery product comprises a nutritional bar or a dietary supplement bar enriched in protein, fiber and minerals. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The method according to claim 9, wherein the delivery product comprises one of at least a confectionary filling and icing. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The method according to claim 9, wherein the delivery product comprises a processed meat. ###

to the dietary supplement, food or beverage. ### Claim 23 (depends on 22) The method according to claim 22, wherein the delivery product comprises a nutritional bar or a dietary supplement bar enriched in protein, fiber and minerals. ### Claim 24 (depends on 22) The method according to claim 22, wherein the delivery product comprises one of at least a confectionary and icing. ### Claim 25 (depends on 22) The method according to claim 22, wherein the delivery product comprises a processed meat. ### Claim 26 (depends on 22) The method according to claim 22, wherein the delivery product
