A corrigendum on
Effect of sun-dry on nutritional and sensory acceptability of wilted African leafy vegetables: a case study of Morogoro Region, Tanzania
by Ahmed, A., Almas, S., Kissaka, K., and Suleiman, R. (2023). Front. Sustain. Food Syst. 7:1161961. doi: 10.3389/fsufs.2023.1161961
In the published article, there was an error in Figure 1 as published. All instances of “ALVs” should have been written as “AGLVs.” The corrected Figure 1, abbreviation and caption appear below.
FIGURE 1
Figure 1. Flow diagram for the drying of African green leafy vegetables (AGLVs) and preparing sauces.
In the published article, there was an error in Figure 2 as published: an error in legend X and in the caption of the figure. The corrected Figure 2 and caption appear below.
FIGURE 2
Figure 2. Sensory scores of the African nightshade sauces using a 9-point Hedonic scale whereby 1 indicated disliked extremely, and 9 indicated liked extremely; SBANL, stored blanched leaves; SUANL, stored unblanched leaves; BANL, blanched leaves; UANL, unblanched leaves; FANL, fresh leaves.
In the published article, there was an error in Figure 3 as published: an error in legend X and in the caption of the figure. The corrected Figure 3 and caption appear below.
FIGURE 3
Figure 3. Sensory scores of the cowpea leafy sauces using a 9-point Hedonic scale whereby 1 indicated disliked extremely, and 9 indicated liked extremely; SBCPL, stored blanched leaves; SUCPL, stored unblanched leaves; BCPL, blanched leaves; UCPL, unblanched leaves; FCPL, fresh leaves.
In the published article, there was an error in Section 2.11, sentence number 2. The interpretation of hedonic scales was interchanged. The corrected sentence appears below:
“The sauces were evaluated for colour, flavour, aroma, mouthfeel, texture, bitterness and overall acceptability using 30 semi-trained panellists. A 9-point hedonic scale was used to rate the acceptance, whereby 1 indicated disliked extremely, and 9 indicated liked extremely (Stone and Sidel, 2004).”
The authors apologize for these errors and state that they do not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
