Abstract The aim of the present work was to investigate the effects of vacuum packaging and storage time on physicochemical composition, fatty acid content, color, microbiological content and rheological behavior of artisanal fresh goat cheese during refrigerated storage. The results show that both vacuum packaging and storage time had an influence on moisture content, color variation and rind formation, obtaining better visual appearance and higher moisture content in vacuum packed cheeses. The packaging also positively influenced the rheological study, observing that the vacuum packed cheeses at the end of the study exhibited a behavior similar to that of the cheeses at time 0. Vacuum packaging of artisanal goat cheeses represents the possibility of preserving the cheeses for a longer time and thus increasing their shelf life. On the other hand, the decrease in moisture loss also represents an economic benefit for producers.
