The objective of the research was to evaluate the effect of vacuum, nitrogen gas, storage temperature (3ºC and -18ºC) and transparent (PET / LDPE) and metallized containers (PET/BOPPM/CPE); in the conservation of roasted humites. During 90 days of storage, the following were evaluated: water activity, humidity, color, acidity, texture, gas in the headspace, mesophilic aerobic counts, total coliforms, molds and yeasts. A low permeability of all the containers was found at N2, with a loss of 1percent towards the end of the conservation period. Color differences (ΔE *) in all treatments were less than 10 during storage, with ΔE* average 6,63 and 7,39, in transparent and metallized containers, respectively. The frozen samples consigned 45 percent humidity and 0,966 aw, higher than those stored in refrigeration and at the initial value. Acidity increased, from 0,20 percent to 0,28 percent and 0,25 percent on average, for refrigerated and frozen humites, respectively. Microbiological counts of mesophilic aerobes (<21 CFU/g), total coliforms (<3 CFU/g), molds and yeasts (<10 CFU/g) indicated product stability. The textural characteristics of the roast humites, determined through a trained panel and for the three stages of the chewing process, were: hardness, humidity, adhesiveness, fatty character, granularity and chewiness, these last two being significantly greater (α = 0.05) than the newly elaborated sample. The combination of a vacuum atmosphere, metallic packaging and freezing storage managed to preserve most of the physicochemical, microbiological and textural characteristics of the roasted humite.
