Description

  The present invention relates to a novel compound having an action of thickening and stabilizing a fluid organic substance such as oil, a thickening stabilizer using the same, and a thickening and stabilizing composition containing the compound.

  The method of thickening and stabilizing the liquid is a very important technology in the industry. For example, a metastable emulsion of mayonnaise or salad dressing can stably maintain the emulsion for a long period of time. This is because the aqueous component is thickened and stabilized. For this reason, various thickening stabilizers have been developed.

  As a compound for thickening and stabilizing an aqueous medium, for example, an alkyl acrylate copolymer is known.

  On the other hand, 12-hydroxystearic acid is known as a thickening stabilizer for organic substances having fluidity such as oily media (Patent Document 1 and the like). 12-Hydroxystearic acid is mainly used for its gelling action for disposal of edible oil. However, 12-hydroxystearic acid was unable to adjust the degree of gelation and could only be induced to either solidify or remain liquid. That is, the present condition is that the compound which thickens or gelatinizes a fluid organic substance to a desired viscosity has not been found yet.
