Claim:
1. A method for: (i) imparting shear thinning behavior in a fluid water-based composition; (ii) imparting a high zero-shear viscosity in a fluid water-based composition, said high zero-shear viscosity being characterized by value above 10 (iii) imparting thixotropic behavior in a fluid water-based composition; (iv) imparting a high low-shear viscosity in a fluid water-based composition, said high low-shear viscosity being characterized by a value of above 10 (v) imparting a yield stress in a fluid water-based composition, said yield stress being characterized by a value within the range of 0.003 to 5.0 Pa; and/or (vi) stabilizing a non-colloidal suspended particle fraction in a fluid water-based composition; wherein the fluid water-based composition comprises at least 10% (w/w) of water as well as a non-colloidal suspended particle fraction, the method comprising incorporating into the fluid water-based composition:
