Tehran Province Malt Powder Industry Directory | Iranco
Seven-grade product matrix, 16-county map and database of Behnoush, Gandom Shad, Samin Nan Sahar and DME traders
Directory of 12+ malt powder, extract and trading units in Tehran Province — Shemshabad, Lashgari, Safadasht and Khorramdasht clusters plus diastatic grades and DME packing notes.
Malt powder value chain in Tehran Province
Malt processing and dry derivatives underpin food biotechnology and supply fermentation, industrial baking and beverage sectors. Sprouted grain becomes malt flour or spray-dried extract rich in reducing sugars, B vitamins and amylolytic enzymes. Tehran Province hosts dense processing, formulation and trading clusters despite limited local malting barley acreage.
This atlas covers seven target product grades, all 16 counties, a validated company database and quality levers: hygroscopicity, diastatic vs non-diastatic grades and natural caramel replacement.

Technical & quality control notes
Dry malt extract is highly hygroscopic; multi-layer foil with nitrogen flush is required to keep solubility on beverage lines.
In Pardis industrial baking, diastatic malt catalyses fermentation; biscuits and beverages need non-diastatic grades to protect gluten balance.
Supply-chain outlook
Five pillars define Tehran: Behnoush-led beverage giants on Lashgari; biological processing by Gandom Shad and Tarkhineh in Rey; Samin bread formulation in Khorramdasht; Giyah Kala spray-drying; and Behbod Chem, Pars Faravar and Doehler covering imports and specialty grades. Replacing ammonia caramel with roasted malt dominates clean-label reformulation.
