Abstract
There were errors in the original publication [1], the misuse of the English term “Bael” in the whole article. A correction has been made to the word “Quince” to “Bael” in the whole article, with corresponding adjustments to the following affected sentences and reference [9]. In Section 1 paragraph 3, the correction has been made: “Bael juice contains carotenoids, phenolics, alkaloids, pectins, tannins, coumarins, flavonoids and terpenoids. In the Ayurvedic system of medicine, it can be use to aid digestion and stomach irritation and prevent sub-acute and chronic dysentery due to its biological properties [9].” In Section 1 paragraph 4, the correction has been made: “bael contributes moderate acidity and is a good source of pectin; it also contains phenolic compounds, including chlorogenic acid, which contribute to its antioxidant capacity without imparting excessive tartness, while jujube introduces unique neuroprotective flavonoids (spinosin, swertisin) and a subtle, floral-sweet aroma that rounds out the flavor profile [9].” In Section 3.4.2 paragraph 1, the correction has been made: “bael is recognized as a rich source of phenolic compounds, particularly chlorogenic acid, caffeoylquinic acids, and flavonols”. In Section 3.5 paragraph 4, the correction has been made: “Volatile compounds characteristic of bael (e.g., limonene, benzaldehyde)”. Baliga, M.S.; Bhat, H.P.; Joseph, N.; Fazal, F.
