    * Monounsaturated fatty acids have only one unsaturated bond.
    Monounsaturated oils are liquid at room temperature but start to solidify
    at refrigerator temperatures. For example, salad dressing containing olive
    oil turns cloudy when refrigerated but is clear at room temperature.

    So why do rape seed oil with same amount of monounsat fat don't
    cloud??

    That's because squalene composition (which is the solidifying stuff in
    olive oil) is very different. Olive oil may be very high in squalenes,
    an important intermediate and precursor for cholesterol, while rape
    seed oil is high in phytosterols.
