Equations that describe the temperature dependence (298–338°K) of absolute viscosity (μ) of 21 oils and oil‐liquid fat mixtures were obtained based on two different approaches. Fitting each particular viscosity profile to a quadratic extension of the Andrade equation provided the best predictive models (R 2 >0.96). However, the coefficients associated with temperature effect did not have a physical‐chemical meaning. In contrast, the multiple variable regressional approach fitted, in just one equation, the μ of all 21 oil systems (R 2 ≈0.93). This equation included terms associated with structural parameters of acylglycerides, namely the degree of unsaturation ( i.e. , iodine value) and chainlength ( i.e. , saponification value) of the fatty acids. The models described effects of the cis double bonds and fatty acid chainlength on the acylglycerides’ interactions that determine both the μ of the system and its capability to crystallize. Therefore, multiple variable regressional analysis might be an excellent tool to better understand the quantitative structure‐functional property relationships in lipids systems.
