Stabilizer is basically something that stabilizes something such as a substance added to another substance to prevent an unwanted alteration of physical state of that substance.
"In chemistry, a stabilizer is a chemical which tends to inhibit or prevent the reaction between two or more other chemicals".
It can be thought of as the antonym to a catalyst. Stabilizer is also a substance or chemical that inhibits the separation of suspensions, emulsions and foams. There are mono-functional, bi-functional, and poly-functional stabilizers. There are many types of stabilizers which play a very important role in our daily lives like antioxidants.
