PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new low molecular weight hydrogelling agent which exhibits an excellent gelling function not only in a case in which a solvent for gelling is a mixed solution of water and a hydrophilic organic solvent but also in a case in which the solvent for gelling is only water, and which is low-cost.SOLUTION: The low molecular weight hydrogelling agent originating from sugars is represented by general formula (I) (in the formula, A represents a sugar residue, each of Rand Rindependently represents hydrogen, methyl, a hydroxy group, a methoxy group, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine, and -C(O)-R represents an acyl group derived from a hydroxy fatty acid). |
