A matrix for incorporating titanium dioxide into extruded plant protein extenders for natural meat products is disclosed. In particular, this matrix made from vegetable protein is useful for incorporating TiO2 tracer in extruded plant protein extenders in such a way that there will be reduced optical contrast with natural ground meat fibers.
