Iranian Knowledge-Based Firm Produces Modified Wheat, Corn Starch on Industrial Scale
“Our company has been working for over 20 years with the aim of improving the quality of raw materials used in the food industry and producing modified starches based on wheat, corn, and potato,” Alireza Rezayee, a quality controler of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“At present, our company produces all types of modified starch, stabilizers, premixes, etc. under the international standards of FDA, the national standard of Iran and also using the integrated system of ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 and HACCP,” he underlined.
“The modified starches and additives of our company enjoy advantages like creating the desired texture in the product, increasing shelf life, excellent performance as a bulking agent, emulsifier and stabilizer, and fat substitute,” Rezayee said.

“The enzymes produced by our holding company have applications in food, textile, livestock and poultry and detergent industries. We also produce probiotics,” said Ali Marjavi, the manager of the technological company.
“We also succeeded in production of enzymes for meat products to connect pieces of meat, while enzymes for making sausages and salami have been presented,” he added.
He underlined the importance of production of enzyme for making starch and alcohol and treatment of oil extraction wastewater , and said, “Until now, starch and alcohol were produced through chemical methods but we succeeded in producing enzymes to this end.”
