The invention relates to a composition comprising C10-C20 paraffins, wherein about 3 wt. % to about 30 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition, are C10-C15 paraffins, and the C10-C20 paraffins are derived from a biological raw material. The invention also relates to a protective agent for a porous material, comprising said composition.

The present invention describes tunable methods of treating cellulosic materials with a composition that provides increased hydrophobicity and/or lipophobicity to such materials without sacrificing the biodegradability thereof. The methods as disclosed provide for binding of saccharide fatty acid esters on cellulosic materials, including that the disclosure provides products made by such methods. The materials thus treated display higher hydrophobicity, lipophobicity, barrier function, and mechanical properties, and may be used in any application where such features are desired.
