For this purpose,a response surface methodology in a 3× 3 Box–Behnken design was employed to study the effect of temperature (100–150 °C), extraction time (5–25 min), and solvent-to-feed ratio (10–20 g bidistilled water/g SbP) on the water-solublecompounds. The highest amount of glucose (5.7-mg/g raw material) and xylose (13.5-mg/g raw material) was obtainedat 150 °C and solvent-to-feed ratio of 15 after 25 min of extraction. The highest amount of protein (133.5-mg/g rawmaterial) was obtained at 150 °C and solvent-to-feed ratio of 20 after 15 min of extraction. The selected temperatureconditions did not promote the formation of final degradation products such as furfural and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural(HMF). The extracts obtained in this study showed simultaneous recovery of free monomeric sugars that could be usedfor bioenergy or biochemical, proteins that could be used for food and pharmaceutical industries and phenolic compoundsthat could be used for food and nutraceutical applications.
