An oxidized -1,4-oligoglucuronic acid, and a preparation method therefor and uses thereof. By using abundant starch, especially soluble starch, in the natural world as the raw material, all 6-site hydroxyl groups of the starch -1,4-polyglucose are oxidized into carboxyl groups to form glucuronic acid under the action of a sodium bromide (NaBr)-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl piperidine oxide (TEMPO)-sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) oxidation system, and the oxidized oligoglucuronic acid having an open ring at an end is prepared by controlling reaction conditions. The compound has obvious anti-cerebral ischemia activity, and can be developed into a potential anti-cerebral ischemia drug.

Described herein are water-based varnishes and inks that include a high renewable carbon content polyamide in an aqueous dispersion and a water-insoluble particulate material. The inks and varnishes exhibit stable viscosity, that is, they are varnishes and inks that exhibit little to no viscosity change over an extended period of time. Further, the inks and varnishes exhibit little to no settling of the insoluble particulate material over an extended period of time. The water-based varnishes include an aqueous polyamide resin dispersion and an additive selected from a water-insoluble particulate material, and the polyamide resin has a renewable carbon content of 50 wt %.

The present invention concerns a method for modifying a polysaccharide material, preferably an amylaceous material, involving a first step of homogeneous solubilisation of said polysaccharide material in an aqueous solvent, followed by a step of homogeneous chemical functionalisation comprising at least one non-crosslinking chemical modification, or at least one crosslinking chemical modification, or a sequence of at least one non-crosslinking chemical modification and at least one crosslinking chemical modification. Secondly, the present invention concerns a modified polysaccharide material, in particular obtained by the method according to the invention, characterised in that it has a novel distribution of the chemical substituents attached to the hydroxyl functions of the anhydroglucose units of said polysaccharide material. The novel starches can be used as organic adjuvants for dry mortars made from cement or made from gypsum, in particular as a binder for a dry mortar made from cement or as a thickening agent for a mortar made from plaster.
