Milk fat has an important role in the formation of fla-vour, aroma, texture proper-ties and quality in milk and dairy products, and milk fat is encapsulated in the glob-ule membrane. Milk fat contains triglycerides, phospholipids, free sterols, β-carotene (provitamin A), fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), sphingomyelins and fatty acids. In addition to its nutritional value, specific short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids found in milk fat are important for health as an energy source for muscle, heart, liver, kid-ney, blood platelets and nervous system. In addition, these fatty acids do not pose a risk of obesity; they also prevent ulcerative colitis, cancer, atherosclerosis and hypertension, and increase natural immunity with their anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effects. Fermented cream, which has a high fat content, is becoming more and more popular in many countries with its nutritional value and its use for many purposes in culinary culture. The classification of fer-mented creams, fat content, production method and used starter cultures vary by country. In this study, fer-mented cream produced in Turkey and in the world classification, production stages, the parameters af-fecting the sensory and tex-tural properties was investi-gated.
