A method of making a supplement for a pet. The method mixes an aqueous protein solution with supplements. Once the supplements have been mixed into the aqueous protein solution, a fat constituent is introduced and mixed into the solution. The solution is then cooled and stored. After a predetermined period of time, the mixture is reheated and a thickening agent is introduced into the mixture.

The present invention relates to a process for forming a functionalised dietary fibre comprising admixing an enzyme and an aqueous suspension of dietary fibre, wherein said dietary fibre is at a D.sub.50 particle size distribution of less than 30 microns after degradation by the enzyme and comprises less than 25 wt. % soluble fibres and at least 40% wt. % cellulose; denaturing said enzyme to form a functionalised, amphiphilic dietary fibre with adsorbed enzyme. The present invention further relates to a Pickering particle comprising a functionalised dietary fibre and denatured enzyme and the use of the functionalised dietary fibre and denatured enzyme according to present invention or the Pickering particle according to the present invention to stabilize an emulsion.
