Provided is a thickening/stabilizing agent that thickens, gelatinizes, and/or stabilizes a fluid organic substance to a desired viscosity. The thickening/stabilizing agent according to the present invention contains a compound (1) represented by Formula (i) and a compound (2) represented by Formula (ii), in a mole ratio of the compound (1) to the compound (2) of 95:5 to 25:75. The four Rs in Formula (i) represent, identically in each occurrence, a C-Caliphatic hydrocarbon group; and the four Rs in Formula (ii) represent, identically in each occurrence, an C-Caliphatic hydrocarbon group. Formulae (i) and (ii) are expressed as follows: 

Thickening stabilizer

The present invention provides a compound that thickens or gels a fluid organic substance to a desired viscosity, or uniformly stabilizes a composition containing a fluid organic substance. The compound of the present invention is a compound represented by Formula (1) below: wherein, Rrepresents a monovalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 4 or more carbons; Rrepresents a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 12 carbons; Rrepresents a monovalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 12 carbons; m represents an integer from 0 to 10; and n represents an integer from 1 to 4; in a case where n is 1 or 2, (4&#x2212;n) Rs may be the same or different; and in a case where n is from 2 to 4, n Rs, n Rs, and n m's each may be the same or different.
