In formulation of Sohan, we decrease intake of sugar by substituting malt (maltose) extracts and sprouted wheat, As sugar (sucrose) is addictive.
Sprouted grains have partially started this growth process. The deactivation of anti-growth enzymes leads to a greater availability of vitamin C, folate, and minerals like iron. The sprouting process also results in a reduction in carbohydrates along with an increase in protein. Finally, they also have lower levels of gluten and up to three times the amount of soluble fiber found in non-sprouted grains.
malt is germinated cereal grains that have been dried in a process known as “malting“. Malting grains develops the enzymes required for modifying the grain’s starches into various types of sugar, including the monosaccharide glucose, the disaccharide maltose, the trisaccharide maltotriose, and higher sugars called maltodextrines.
Malted grain is used to make sohan confectionery. In Persian countries a sweet paste made entirely from germinated wheat is called Samanū (Persian: سمنو) in Iran, Samanak , which is prepared for Nowruz (Persian new year celebration).
Malt extract, also known as extract of malt, is a sweet, treacly substance used as a dietary supplement.
