Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a method of modifying the swelling behavior of a dietary fibre in an aqueous medium by providing a synergistic fibre composition comprising the dietary fibre embedded within a lipid material comprising a lipid selected from a free fatty acid exhibiting a melting point in the range of from 30 to 60 °C, a glycerol- or sorbitan based fatty acid ester exhibiting a melting point in the range of from 30 to 75 °C, a plant-derived wax exhibiting a melting point in the range of from 30 to 75 °C, or a homogenous mixture of two or more of these lipids, wherein said homogenous mixture exhibits a melting point in the range of from 30 to 70 °C; wherein the swelling behavior is modified in such a way that the maximum viscosity that is achieved by mixing the synergistic fibre composition, comprising the dietary fibre(s) at an amount x
