The aim of this study is to establish thermodynamic relations which govern the equilibrium of solid formation during the cooling of cottonseed oil either when tripalmitin is added to it or when the oil is cooled in the presence of solvent with consequent enrichment of the solid phase in certain triacylglycerols. We have established analytical expressions of the functions and variables of state that can describe the experimental results obtained. The effect of the addition of tripalmitin to refined cottonseed oil is well represented by simple expressions.
