Abstract
The present invention is generally directed to systems and methods for thickening liquids, e.g., hydrophobic liquids, non-aqueous liquids, fuels, etc. In one set of embodiments, a composition is produced by combining in a mixture, at least one monoglyceride (abbreviated 'MG') and glycerine (abbreviated 'G'), in which the molar ratio of G to MG in the mixture is between 1:1 and 4:1. The mixture may be melted and cooled to form solids containing a GMG molecular complex in which two molecules of G are hydrogen-bonded to each molecule of MG. The composition may be substantially free, in certain embodiments, of contaminating reactants, catalysts, alkaline agents, and/or by-products of fatty acid interesterification that may interfere with the use of said composition as a thickening agent.
