Faloudeh And Ice Cream Edible Modified Starches

Faloudeh is a traditional Iranian dessert and according to many evidences, its origin is shiraz. In order to produce Faloudeh strand according to the available facilities, starch was extracted directly from wheat grains and consumed as cakes. With the advancement of science and the succession of new methods of starch production, wheat starch powder could not be a suitable substitute for traditional wheat starch cake. The faloudeh strand produced with wheat starch powder did not have the proper quality to produce the filament and the resulting strands had short length and low resistance, and on the other hand, starch cake due to its high moisture content had a very low shelf life and quickly molded.Hence Pars Yehpardaz Company, relying on its technical knowledge, managed to produce a modified starch powder with the brand name Dernsha coded. 6522, this modified starch, in addition to its high shelf life, had the ability to produce long and resistant strands that became a suitable alternative to starch cake and in less than 6 months could cover more than 70% of the needs of Iran's large market.
