The survey intends to investigate the financial status of the youth, i.e. age groups 18-29 of both genders in developing world. The survey aims to serve for the socio-financial empowerment of youth and will eventually contribute to the implementation and realization of the youth who need effective and influencing policies to improve their quality of life. Based on Iran’s national census in 2011, approximately youth include 33% or 25 million of the total population of the country. The demographic profile of the increasing youth at the age of employability and income indicates that a large number of the educated and skilled youth do not enjoy adequate financial and intellectual opportunities available to their counterparts in developed and newly emerging economies. However, social and economic hazards and disparities have their effects on the quality of life of the young men and women of Iran. Such a situation makes the youth of both genders very vulnerable. High and rising figures of unemployment especially within the youth have contributed to serious concerns. Sociologically speaking such issues will cause long-term challenges if not addressed in time and in place.

Breastfeeding provides many health benefits by protecting the mother and child. Optimal breastfeeding is one of the most effective preventive health measures against diarrheal diseases and infant mortality. Studies indicate that breast milk protects infants against infectious and chronic diseases [1,2]. Globally, 60% of infant and young child deaths occur as a result of inappropriate infant feeding practices and infectious diseases, two-thirds of which are attributable to poor breastfeeding practices [2]. Infant feeding practices may have a negative effect on children’s growth and development, particularly in developing countries where access to basic health services is not sufficient [3]. In developing countries, feeding practices are very often inadequate and inconsistent with World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations and are the main factors affecting the physical growth and mental development of the child [4]. Poor nutritional status in early childhood also affects health in adulthood [5]. Nutritional status is the best indicator of child well-being and, indirectly, the well-being of the community.

Carrots have been widely used as a model food in chewing studies yet inter and intra varietal variation have not been considered, treating them as a standard material whose rheological and breakdown characteristics are constant. Using a texture analyzer, we determined small strain compression (Young’s) moduli of carrot cores. We also undertook high speed, high strain compression tests to mimic the type of forces involved in chewing studies. Results suggest that for fresh carrots there is no significant difference between the textural characteristics of carrot varieties studied. Moreover, no difference exists in textural characteristics of sample cores obtained from different locations within the same carrot. As carrots are stored at temperatures between 10 and 30 °C the Young’s modulus declines exponentially with time, while the breaking stress gradually increases. Our data does suggest that the many researchers who have used carrots as consistent model food is justified in doing so as long as the produce is fresh.

Soya bean paste (okara) is the by-product obtained after extraction of aqueous milk from soya bean. Large quantities of the paste are generated as by-product obtain the process of extracting the aqueous liquid from soya beans and in the production process of tofu. Several research works have reported on quantity of okara to be generated from soya beans. According to Liu [1], 1.1 pounds of okara can be generated from 1 pound of soya beans, while Riaz [2], stated that 1 kilogram of soybeans used for soymilk processing can generates between 1.4-1.8kg of okara. According to Africa Do Business Limited (2012), 1.2kg of fresh okara is produced from 1 kg of soya beans processed for manufacturing of tofu [3].

Milk protein has a lot of nutritional merits. First, it is reich in amino acids essential for growing children and maintenance of a health life. Second, it is important for enhancing immune system development that is used for strong protection of harmful organisms. Milk protein can be classified into casein protein, whey protein and their derivative polypeptides on the basis of their functionality and properties. Casein proteins are acting as antiviral and immunoregulatory factors which help the human body by regulating the innate immune response both through up-regulating to increase the killing of virus and down regulating to reduce determinatal conditions such as sepsis. Like casine proteins, why proteins and peptides have been studied extensively for antiviral property.

During the primary distillation of fermented products, along with alcohol, a mass of harmful substances, including poisons: methanol, fuel oils, and other untreated compounds, is also distilled. The boiling point of alcohol is 78.4 °C, and in fermented products there are liquids that boil at lower (methanol, acetone, acetaldehyde, etc.) and at higher temperatures (amyl, propyl, isoamyl and other alcohols, furfural, acetyl). Many of them are poisonous and dangerous to humans. However, during the processing of fermented products with the separation of fractions, with the removal of the most toxic impurities in the final product, there are still quite a lot of harmful components called fuel oils. In a high-quality alcoholic liquid should contain as little fuel oils but should be kept harmless substances. The approximate content of fuel oils in some products (Table 1).

Microalgae (i.e. the prokaryotic cyanobacteria and the eukaryotic microalgae) are a wide diversity of microscopic unicellular organisms with the ability to convert solar energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis [1,2]. Moreover, this evolutionary and phylogenetic diversity means a great diversity from the point of view of the chemical composition of these organisms. Thus, this makes them extremely attractive for potential exploitation and bioprospecting as commercial sources of a wide range of biomolecules (Table 1) [2].

Recently we have gained high market values products with greater health. In this context, the use of grains and whole grains is an important market in the preparation of breakfast foods, or special foods for children or the elderly, which contain significant nutritional values: antioxidants, fibers, vitamins and, possibly, better protein and free gluten [1].
