Error in Table

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Table 1 as published. Minor mistakes in the identification of some peaks were made. The corrected Table 1 appears below.
Table 1. Anthocyanins and flavonols in the PL oilcake extract fractions AF and EF, respectively. The peak numbers correspond to the chromatographic profile illustrated in Figure 2a for the AF and Figure 2b for the EF.

Text Correction

There were minor errors in the original publication [1], regarding the putative identification of kaempferol derivatives.
A correction has been made to 2. Results and Discussion Section, Section 2.1.2. Identified Flavonols from Ethylacetate Fraction and Section 2.2.2. Optimization Design and Response Surface Methodology.
The 4th sentence in Section 2.1.2, Paragraph 8 should be changed as: “Based on the fragmentation pattern, peak 12 was tentatively identified as kaempferol derivative, showing the fragment ion [M-H] at m/z 285.”
The Section 2.1.2 Paragraphs 9 and 10 should be changed as: “The identity of peak 13 instead was tentatively assigned with myricetin-derivative, presenting a precursor ion [M-H] at m/z 469 and a fragment ion [M-H] at m/z 317, with a neutral loss of m/z 152. Peaks 14 and 16 were putatively identified as kaempferol derivatives, sharing the fragment ion [M-H] at m/z 285 corresponding to kaempferol aglycone, while peak 15 has been putatively identified as a flavonoid derivative with the main ion [M-H] at m/z 269. Peak 18 was identified as quercetin aglycone, with a [M-H] signal at m/z 301. Lastly, peaks 17, 19, and 20 were assigned as kaempferol derivatives, as they showed the kaempferol aglycone [M-H] at m/z 285 and similar UV–Vis spectra.”
The 2nd sentence in Section 2.2.2, Paragraph 2 should be changed as: “Among the tested conditions, run 4 (15 347 min, 70% EtOH, and 0.01 g L−1) yielded the highest TFC and TAC values, alongside the highest TFAC, with cyanidin-3-O-galactoside and kaempferol derivative being the most abundant compounds in the AF and EF, respectively.”
The Supplementary Materials has been corrected accordingly.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
