Disclosed is an aqueous bonding composition comprising: (A) a modified saccharide which is a product of (a) a saccharide and (b) a radical initiator. The composition further preferably comprises a structure based on (c) an amine. The composition further preferably comprises (B) an inorganic acid salt. The formaldehyde-free aqueous bonding composition can contribute to an improvement in mechanical properties such as strength and elastic modulus of a molded article, compared to a formaldehyde-containing phenol resin composition.
