which cannot gel at 1 wt%, also exhibited high emulsion stability. This may be due to the thickening effect. Comparing C16AG (8) and C16GL (4) protected by the same palmitic acid, C16AG ( ) is more effective as a gelator to create a harder gel, while C16GL (4) has better emulsion stability, suggesting that the carbonyl group of the lactone ring may be effective in emulsion stability.
