Abstract:
A process for producing a novel synergistic solid/semi-solid organic composition, said process comprising mixing (a) 0.1 to 40 percent by weight of at least one saturated long chain fatty acid and/or its glycerol esters, or at least one saturated long chain fatty alcohols, or at least one dicarboxylic acid, or at least one sterol or mixtures thereof with (b) a liquid neutral organic compound, at a pressure in the range of 200 torr to 2500 torr; wherein said mixture includes decanoic acid having an additional carboxylic acid group at the methyl end thereof which is found to enhance the solidification ability by more than ten-fold over decanoic acid and C6 to C10 dicarboxylic acids, solidified seed oils and essential oils.
