The current research aimed, first, to valorize Tunisian cork oak acorn starch extracted by water soaking method in dairy industry. The effect of its incorporation into milk on the evolution of rheological, sensorial and microbiological properties of stirred yogurt during refrigerated storage was, also, evaluated. No significant effect was observed on fermentation parameters of the acorn starch added product. During 28 days of refrigerated storage, the incorporation of acorn starch did not affect the post-acidification and the viability of the lactic starter cultures. Moreover, the treated stirred yogurt exhibited a lower syneresis value and a higher consistency when compared to the untreated control and that incorporated with industrial modified starch. The findings revealed that acorn starch incorporation extended the shelf life of the final product by about 6 days. Despite its less appreciated color (3.67±0.5), acorn-starch-added yogurt product gained the highest overall acceptability scores (4.11±0.6) by the panel.
