There was no significant effect of the packaging method and storage time used on cooking loss, natural drip loss, lightness, yellowness, and intensity of taste and aroma. An interaction between storage time, packaging method, and mesophilic aerobic bacteria and coliform counts was observed. Storage time significantly affected the number of aerobic psychrotrophic bacteria, redness, pH (<span class="inline-formula"><i>P</i>≤0.001</span>), shear force value (<span class="inline-formula"><i>P</i>=0.006</span>), and the desirability of aroma (<span class="inline-formula"><i>P</i>&lt;0.026</span>) and taste (<span class="inline-formula"><i>P</i>&lt;0.01</span>). During the storage time, an increase in red saturation from 11.92 to 13.33 and pH value from 5.69 to 5.80 was recorded. Moreover, the storage method affected sensory properties. Vacuum-packed meat was characterized by higher scores in juiciness, tenderness and taste desirability in comparison to MAP. The obtained results suggest that both packaging methods allow for maintaining high-quality lamb meat during a long period of storage under refrigeration conditions.</p>
