The shape of the neutrino pulse from the supernova SN1987a provides one of the most stringent constraints on the size of large, compact, ``gravity-only'' extra dimensions. Previously, calculations have been carried out for a newly-born proto-neutron star with a temperature of about 50 MeV at nuclear matter density. It is arguable that, due to the extreme conditions in the interior of the star, matter might be a quark-gluon plasma, where the relevant degrees of freedom are quarks and gluons rather than nucleons. We consider an energy-loss scenario where seconds after rebounce the core of the star consists of a hot and dense quark-gluon plasma. Adopting a simplified model of the plasma we derive the necessary energy-loss formulae in the soft-radiation limit. The emissivity is found to be larger than the one for nuclear matter and bounds on the radius of extra dimensions are stronger than those found previously from nuclear matter calculations.
