The properties of thermal material coexisting with non-thermal emitting plasma and strong magnetic field in the powerful jets of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are examined. Theoretical and observational constraints on the physical properties of this `cold' component are determined. While the presence of a thermal component occupying a fraction 1.E-8 of the jet volume is possible, it seems unlikely that such a component is capable of contributing significantly to the total jet energy budget, since the thermal reprocessing signatures that should appear in the spectra have not, as yet, been detected.
