     Abstract Very high gravity (VHG) ethanol fermentation has several advantages for industrial applications because it can increase ethanol titer, which not only reduces energy consumption for ethanol distillation, but also reduces waste discharged from distillation system. However, substrate inhibition usually occurs under a VHG condition due to high osmotic pressure, especially fermentation under environmental stresses. The aim of this study was to improve VHG ethanol fermentation under temperature stress by osmoprotectant (40 mM KCl and 10 mM KOH) addition. Sweet sorghum stem juice (SSJ) containing total sugar, 267 g/L and urea, 3.24 g/L fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae NP01 (an initial cell, 1.32×108 cells/mL) was found to be the optimum condition for VHG ethanol fermentation at the optimum fermentation temperature (30ºC). The ethanol concentration (PE), ethanol productivity (QP), and sugar consumption (%SC) were 119.3 g/L, 2.49 g/L.h. and 91.8%, respectively, at 48 h. Under fermentation temperature stress at 25, 35, 37 and 39ºC, the PE values decreased to 105.94 (at 60 h), 110.8, 91.5 and 74.6 g/L at 36 h, respectively. When the osmoprotectant (KCl/KOH) was added in the SSJ medium, at the fermentation temperature of 25, 35 and 37ºC, the PE values increased ≈10, 4 and 13%, respectively compared to those without osmoprotectant. This might be due to the fact that the osmoprotectant had positive effects on yeast cells, resulting in higher cell viability. However, at too high fermentation temperature at 39ºC, KCl/KOH addition could not improve ethanol fermentation.
