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.
Claims9
A method for treating a gastrointestinal irregularity in a human in need thereof comprising administering to said human a dietary supplement composition comprising an effective amount of a shelf stable, partially defatted supercritical CO2 fluid solvent extracted residue remaining after oil extraction derived from a cracked biomass Perilla frutescens, the Perilla derived residue comprising minerals and 2 to 8 percent of native seed oil, 35 to 45 percent protein, and 35 to 45 percent fiber, and an effective amount of a lipophilic and/or a hydrophilic antioxidant stabilizer as a preservative;
- wherein the Perilla derived residue is made by;
- cracking Perilla frutescens seeds into a cracked seed biomass;
- subjecting the cracked seed biomass to supercritical CO2 extraction within a supercritical fluid extraction unit to produce a seed oil extract and a residue in the supercritical extractor;
- removing the seed oil extract from the supercritical fluid extractor unit;
- and
- collecting the residue remaining in the supercritical fluid extractor.
