Saffron
Saffron is the most expensive, aromatic, flavorful, and well-known spice in the world, widely used in cooking as well as in cosmetic and health products.

According to most sources, the origin of saffron is Iran. Today, Iran produces over 99% of the world’s saffron and is the largest producer and exporter of this precious spice. China is the largest importer of saffron globally.

The unique aroma and flavor of saffron come from a compound called safranal, while its golden-yellow color is due to crocin.

To detect adulterated or fake saffron, advanced scientific methods such as mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are used.

 

Main Components of Saffron

Crocin: The coloring agent in saffron
Picrocrocin: The bitter-tasting compound in saffron

Safranal: The aroma compound in saffron
Lycopene: These carotenoids are also present in tomatoes
Betacarotenes: These carotenoids are also found in carrots

Saffron Specifications

Saffron is a small, perennial plant with a height ranging between 10 to 30 centimeters. From the middle of the bulb or the base of the stem, several narrow and long leaves emerge. From among the leaves, a flowering stem grows, usually ending in one to three flowers.

Saffron flowers have 6 petals that are purple in color, which in some varieties may appear pink or magenta. Each flower consists of 3 stamens and one pistil that ends in a three-branched stigma with a red-orange color.

The part of the saffron plant used is the end of the style and its three-branched stigma, which after drying becomes known as saffron. This part is aromatic and slightly bitter.

 

Super Negin Saffron

Super Negin Saffron is one of the finest types of saffron. Like Negin saffron, it has no white part at the ends of the stigmas. The stigmas are completely red, straight, and free from any curls or bends.
The main difference between Super Negin and Negin saffron lies in the thickness of the stigmas; Super Negin saffron has thicker stigmas, broader tips, and a coloring strength between 260 and 270 units.
To maintain its quality, the drying process of this saffron is usually carried out using a saffron dryer machine.
