1. A carboxylate ester of polysaccharide, wherein the polysaccharide is esterified with trimellitic anhydride and wherein a degree of substitution of the polysaccharide lies in the range of from 1 to 2.5. (10) (0)

2. The carboxylate ester of polysaccharide according to claim 1, wherein the polysaccharide is inulin, maltodextrin, xyloglucan, alginate, starch, or a mixture thereof. (0)

3. The carboxylate ester of polysaccharide according to claim 1, wherein the polysaccharide is inulin and an average chain length of the inulin lies in the range of from 3 to 100 fructose units. (0)

4. The carboxylate ester of polysaccharide according to claim 1, wherein the polysaccharide is inulin and an average chain length of the inulin lies in the range of from 10 to 40 fructose units. (0)

5. A method of preparing a carboxylate ester of polysaccharide of claim 1, comprising: (2) (3)

i) mixing a polysaccharide with trimellitic anhydride and a catalyst in an organic solvent, wherein a molar ratio of trimellitic anhydride to monosaccharide unit lies in a range of from 1:2 to 4:1,

ii) stirring the solution obtained in step i) at a temperature lying in a range of from 20 to 100° C. for 1 to 10 hours,

iii) precipitating an esterified polymer obtained in step ii) by adding a mixture of sodium hydroxide and an alcohol to the reaction mixture obtained in step ii).

6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the solvent is pyridine, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, or a mixture thereof. (0)

7. The method according to claim 5, wherein the catalyst is 1-methyl-imidazole. (0)

8. A method of preparing a carboxylate ester of polysaccharide of claim 1, comprising: (0) (3)

9. A method for the preparation of a carboxylate ester of polysaccharide of claim 1, wherein a polysaccharide is reacted with trimellitic anhydride in an extruder or a kneader in the presence of a catalyst and wherein a molar ratio of trimellitic anhydride to monosaccharide unit lies in a range of from 1:2 to 4:1. (2) (0)

12. An aqueous solution comprising the carboxylate ester of polysaccharide according to claim 1. (0)

13. A laundry cleaning composition comprising from 0.1% to about 10% by weight of the carboxylate ester of polysaccharide according to claim 1 and from 1% to about 70% by weight of one or more surfactant. (0)
