When the above article was first published online and in print, there were errors in the methodology of preparation of materials:
The information on page 1134: “After 2 weeks, TA sprouts were harvested, freeze-dried, and milled in a laboratory-scale mill” is incorrect in the first published online and print version. It should be: After 2 weeks, TA sprouts were harvested and dried for 24 h at 45° C.
The information on page 1134: “The powder of TA sprout (30 g) was ultrasonically extracted with 50% EtOH for 1 h and filtered” is incorrect in the first published online and print version. It should be: The dried TA sprout (30 g) was extracted with 50% EtOH for 12 h at 55° C and filtered.
The information on page 1134: “After evaporation on a rotary vacuum evaporator (N-000, EYELA, Tokyo, Japan), 10 g of T. aestivum sprout 50% EtOH extract (TAEE) was obtained” is incorrect in the first published online and print version. It should be: After the EtOH extracts were spray-dried with inlet of 170° C and outlet of 85° C conditions, 10 g of TA sprout 50% EtOH extract (TAEE) was obtained.
The corrected full text is below:
Preparation of Triticum aestivum (TA) sprout extract. TA sprouts were obtained from the National Institute of Crop Science (Gyeonggi-do, Korea). The seeds were germinated on organic sterile peat moss and cultivated. After 2 weeks, TA sprouts were harvested and dried for 24 h at 45° C. The dried TA sprout (30 g) was extracted with 50% EtOH for 12 h at 55° C and filtered. After the EtOH extracts were spray-dried with inlet of 170° C and outlet of 85° C conditions, 10 g of TA sprout 50% EtOH extract (TAEE) was obtained. TAEE was stored at 4° C before use and dissolved in purified water for experiments.
