After the publication of the article [1], one of the referenced manuscripts was found to have been retracted. To enhance the quality and scientific rigor of the manuscript, the author decided to remove the previous reference number 23 [2] from the reference list and replace the original reference with [3]. The correct paragraph in Section 2.2 appears below.
“Significant variations in the profiles of bioactive compounds, which are correlated with the biological activities of Z. officinale and P. nigrum, were found by comparing their phytochemical analyses. Phenolic substances, including 6-gingerol, shogaol, cinnamic acid, and 5-carboxyvanillic acid, which exhibit significant antioxidant activity and potential anticancer effects, were discovered to be especially abundant in Z. officinale. These findings are consistent with other research showing the phenolics generated from ginger can scavenge radicals and may have a function in preventing disease.”
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
