Glucose & maltodextrin chain, Marnan and Letra formulation, 28-county matrix and 18 production and wholesale units
Directory of syrup, topping and dessert-sauce plants and wholesalers in Isfahan — Shahdineh, Golshahd, Marnan, CoffeeSell, Behgaz and Partak, with out-of-province brand geography and café–pastry segments.
Isfahan’s grain, confectionery and chocolate ecosystem splits into upstream refineries (Jey, Murché Khort) and downstream formulation (Soroush Badaran, Mobarakeh, Shahreza, Kashan). Shahdineh Aran and Golshahd Naghsh Jahan supply glucose and maltodextrin syrups; Marnan and Letra commercialise dedicated bottle and powder lines.
This report maps ten target SKUs, all 28 counties, vacuum concentration through HoReCa packing, and a directory of 18 production, refining and wholesale players.
| Code | Product | Formulation | Functional behaviour |
|---|---|---|---|
| P-01 | Chocolate syrup | Glucose, alkalised cocoa 10–12% | Brix 65–78; hot & cold bar |
| P-02 | Caramel syrup | Invert sugar, caramel extract | Stable in milk coffee |
| P-03 | Strawberry syrup | Fruit concentrate, acid | Cold bar; ripple desserts |
| P-04 | Vanilla syrup | High-Brix sucrose, vanillin | Coffee neutraliser |
| P-05 | Coffee / Irish syrup | Coffee extract or powder base | Mocha & Irish cream |
| P-06 | Chocolate topping | Cocoa, modified starch, fat | Thixotropic pipe-on |
| P-07 | Caramel topping | Caramelised sugar, emulsifiers | Freezer-stable drizzle |
| P-08 | Fruit topping / brilee | Pectin, puree, glaze | Gloss on pastry & ice cream |
| P-09 | Dessert sauce | Emulsion or starch gel | Plate garnish & fill |
| P-10 | White chocolate sauce | Cocoa butter, milk solids | Reconstituted from Letra powder |
Shahdineh Aran and Golshahd Naghsh Jahan hydrolyse starch into glucose and maltodextrin syrups that control viscosity, anti-crystallisation and mouthfeel in every downstream syrup and glaze line.
Batch or continuous evaporators target 65–78° Brix for bar syrups and higher solids for thixotropic toppings and brilee glazes.
Hydrocolloids, modified starches and emulsifiers build structural viscosity for layered desserts without syneresis.
Marnan 1 L glass with pourer; Kashan 25 kg carboys; powder sachets from Letra for white-chocolate and Irish bases.
CoffeeSell, Hesam, Behgaz and Partak aggregate domestic plants with Alborz/Tehran brands for cafés and pastry shops.
Proximity to Shahdineh and Golshahd minimises base-syrup logistics for local formulators; Marnan remains the province’s only dedicated glass-bottle syrup plant.

Shahdineh and Golshahd feed the base; Marnan, Letra and Kamvar sell direct or via CoffeeSell and Hesam. Behgaz, Partak and Isfahan Choco are provincial wholesale hubs for domestic and imported brands.
| Segment | Players / pack format |
|---|---|
| Native specialty syrup | Glass 1 L bar syrups from Soroush Badaran; 16 flavours, Siib Salamat mark. |
| Powder reconstitution | Letra Irish cream & white-chocolate powders — shelf-stable alternative to liquid syrup. |
| Imported via Isfahan wholesale | SiSib, Cansee, Sunich, Tajineh, Flora — plant outside province, strong Isfahan capillary sales. |
| Diet & reduced sugar | Kamvar isomalt spreads and toppings for diabetic-friendly desserts. |
| Traditional HoReCa concentrate | Exir Kashan & Shakerstan high-Brix fruit and saffron syrups in carboys. |
SiSib’s registered plant is in Alborz (Mohammadshahr); Isfahan presence is sales-led. Tajineh (Urmia) and Flora brilee (Tehran/Alborz) reach the province via Behgaz and Markazi wholesale. Pizza-process cheese toppings (Pegah, Jolfaa) are not sweet dessert toppings.
Isfahan is self-sufficient in glucose feedstock yet still relies on Alborz/Tehran brands for specialty café syrups. Growth paths: upgrading formulation downstream of Shahdineh/Golshahd, pump-fitted glass packs, Kamvar reduced-sugar lines, and Kashan concentrate exports to Iraq and the region.
