Text Correction

There were some errors in the original publication.
  • The species name in the line 7 of the Abstract Section and line 9 of 2.7 Section were not written in full name. A correction has been made to “Femminello Zagara Bianca”.
  • There was an typing error in line 9–11 of page 2. A correction has been made to “In Sicily, lemon cultivation covers approximately 21,000 hectares, with production accounting for approximately 87% of Italy’s total lemon production, underscoring the economic importance of the region”.
  • The words “hybrids” on the line 15 and “cultivars” on the line 18 of the page 2 needs to be revised. A correction has been made to “clones”.
  • During the revision, part of sentence of line 16–18 of page 2 was probably omitted. A correction has been made to “This characteristic allows the tree to flower several times a year, resulting in several harvests: primofiore (from spring blooms), bianchetto (from late spring to early summer blooms), verdello (from summer blooms) and codoni (from autumn blooms).”.
  • The third-to-last line of the Introduction section, namely “(autumn and spring).”, needs to be deleted. A correction has been made to “The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of manna-based edible solutions applied at three different concentrations (5%, 10%, and 15%) on the quality and shelf life of fresh-cut lemon fruit, from different flowering”.
  • In scientific English, in the line 5 of Section 2.1, the correct term is “globe”, not “alberello”. A correction has been made to “globe”.
  • There was an typing error in line 1–2 of second paragraph of Section 2.1. A correction has been made to “May 2023 and July 2023”.
  • The format of the species name in the caption of Figure 1 is incorrect. A correction has been made to “Femminello Zagara Bianca”.
  • The title of Section 2.4 needs to be revised. A correction has been made to “2.4. Total Soluble Solid Content, Titratable Acidity, pH and CO2 and O2 Content”.
  • The “2.5 O2 and CO2 content.” in the second paragraph of Section 2.4 needs to be deleted.
  • The hyphen in “be-tween” in Line 3 of Section 2.7 needs to be deleted. A correction has been made to “between”.
  • The unit in the last line of Section 2.11 is incorrect. A correction has been made to “ mg GAE 100 g−1 FW”.
