Good input data are an essential base to understand how materials and compositions behave. In this contribution, the role of physical properties data in the process of developing fat‐based products is discussed. Based on a few examples, it is concluded that physical properties data, including the characterization of raw materials, is of paramount importance to transform from an experience‐based domain towards a knowledge‐based domain. Furthermore, it is illustrated that, even though a priori modeling of product properties remains practically impossible, modeling based on adequate input data, thus physical properties data, helps to design better experimental strategies during the search for product solutions.
