A study was conducted to assess the impact of vacuum packaging during storage for herbal paneer spread. Paneer spread incorporated with Aloevera and Tulsi extract (1% each) was packed and stored in normal and vacuum package (LDPE pouch) at refrigerated temperature (5±1ºc) and analysis were done at 5 days interval. The product was analysed for its Physicochemical studies and shelf-life attributes were examined during storage by microbial analysis like standard plate count and coliform count. The paneer spread with herbal extract stored in vacuum packaging have more functional properties and shelf-life than normal packaging. The efficiency of vacuum packaging is good by removing more moisture content than normal packaging therefore it increased the shelf life of the herbal paneer spread by 50% (approximately) as compared with normal packaging at refrigerated storage.
