<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oil gelling agent which can form a highly stable gel by being combined with a little amount of an oil solution, and does not need to expose to excessive high temperature in a manufacturing process, and to further provide an oil gel composition containing the oil gelling agent and the oil solution.SOLUTION: The invention provides an oil gelling agent consisting of an alkanol amide derivative expressed with a general formula (1). [RCO represents an acyl group of carbon numbers 16-22 which may contain a hydroxyl group, Rrepresents a straight chain of carbon number 1-3 which may contain a hydroxyl group or a branch alkylene group, or a polyoxyalkylene group.] The alkanol amide derivative can be readily obtained by reacting oil and fats containing a hydroxyl group, such as a specific fatty acid, alkyl ester of the fatty acid, or hardening castor oil, to alkanolamine.</p> |
