Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of pressure treating a bioactive composition comprising at least one bioactive component to prevent the growth of at least one unwanted microorganism while retaining a desired level activity of the at least one bioactive component. The bioactive component is selected from one or more proteins protein hydrolysates, one or more lipids or lipid hydrolysates, one or more carbohydrates, one or more probiotic factors, or mixtures thereof. The pressure treatment is at a predetermined pressure from about 350 to 1000 MPa.

Abstract: This device has a structure of two durable combs connected to a hand held grip. The Grip System is functional with two bilateral segments, which are equal in length and width. The bilateral segments consist of bristles that differ in thickness and distance. The Grip System is controlled by clasping the handles that unite the bilateral segments. The Grip System simplifies the conventional method of cutting hair. The advantage of being able to grasp the hair in a secure and precise manner minimizes the haircutting technique, which is beneficial to all hair stylists. It also creates the opportunity for a secure grip while concentrating on the cut. Additionally it solves a problem for hairstylists in accuracy, time efficiency, and manageability.
