    The deficiency in micronutrients is a public
    health problem, principally in lower-middle-income countries. Vitamin A (VA) is considered a micronutrient fundamental to the maintenance and development of different
    tissues in the organism. Therefore, it is an essential
    micronutrient in the human diet. In these terms, goat milk is
    the leading food consumed to provide nutritional support in
    innumerous lower-middle-income countries. Here our work
    aimed to produce goat cheese studying strategies to promote
    the retention of VA. Our experiment design also explores
    the use of the salting process to evaluate the levels of VA
    retention. The level of VA in goat cheese was determined
    using LC–MS/MS analysis. Additionally, the redox status of
    the goat cheese in terms of lipid peroxi- dation and protein
    oxidation was determined. The texture analysis was also
    evaluated to verify if the redox status and salting process
    influence the texture profile. The results showed that the
    salting process during goat cheese pro- duction improves
    the retention of VA in goat cheese.
    Moreover, the salting process also is related to alterations in
    the status redox of the goat cheese and texture parameters.
    Therefore, our results show that goat cheese production can
    be an alternative to produced dairy derivates with
    recognized concentrations of VA for human nutrition
