OIL GEL COMPRISING REVERSE WORM-LIKE MICELLE ESSENTIALLY COMPRISING LECITHIN AND UREA

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oil-gelling agent which forms a reverse worm-like micelle having high safety to a living body and environment, a desirable use feeling, and good gelling ability, and to provide a thickened gel composition using the oil-gelling agent.;SOLUTION: Lecithin/urea acts as an oil-gelling agent which forms a reverse worm-like micelle of various oils. A thickened gel composition having a reverse worm-like micelle structure can be obtained by using a three-component mixed system of lecithin/urea/an oil. Thus, there is provided a good oil-gelling agent which is very safe to a human body and environment, has long-term stability, and has performance required for an oil-gelling agent. There is also provided a thickened gel composition which contains the oil-gelling agent and an oil component and has formed a reverse worm-like micelle.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
