Effect of pressure and temperature on alcoholic fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae immobilized on γ-alumina pellets

► We model the effect of pressure and temperature on alcoholic fermentation. ► The biocatalyst was yeast cells immobilized on γ-alumina pellets. ► Data were analyzed and simulated by the differential method of analysis. ► Pressure increase (1-7 atm) reduced process rate and ethanol productivity. ► The expected positive effect of temperature (up to 303.15 K) was observed.
