ABSTRACTSporolactobacillus inulinuswas grown on 24 media varying in carbohydrate source and concentration. A heat‐resistant total count (80°C–5 min) and the thermal resistance of the spores isolated from each cell crop were determined. The highest heat‐resistant couunts were obtained when S.inulinuswas grown on Sporolactobacillus agar with 2α‐methyl glucoside. Cells grown in Sporolactobacillus broth with 1α‐methyl glucoside yielded the most heat resistant spores. D values (decimal reduction times) and z values were determined for each spore crop. Average D values were 53.2 min at 75°C, 19.5 min at 80°C, 6.8 min at 85°C and 5.1 min at 90°C. The average z
