In the published article, there was an error in Figures 2, 3D as published. There was an error in the arrangement of ratio values on the columns. The corrected Figures 2, 3D appear below.
FIGURE 2
FIGURE 3
In the published article, there was an error. As a result of modifying Figures 2, 3D, it was necessary to amend paragraphs in the Abstract, Results and discussions, and Conclusion sections.
A correction has been made to Abstract. This sentence previously stated:
“The highest CO2 mitigated ratio using the HSTEE dryer was recorded in thyme, marjoram, and lemongrass samples, with values ranging from 45% to 54% at 30, 40, and 50°C.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“The highest CO2 mitigated ratio using the HSTEE dryer was recorded in lavender, thyme, basil, lemongrass, and sage samples with values ranging from 45% to 54% at 30, and 50°C.”
A correction has been made to 3 Results and discussions, Paragraph 3. This sentence previously stated:
“The highest ratio of energy reduction for the HSTEE dryer compared to the TE dryer was recorded for thyme samples at 30, 40, and 50°C with values of 49%, 50%, and 54%, respectively. The lowest ratio of energy reduction for the HSTEE dryer ranged between 37% and 40% for basil, lavender, and sage at 30°C and 40°C.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“The highest ratio of CO2 mitigated was noted for lavender, thyme, basil, lemongrass, and sage samples with values ranging from 45% to 54% at 30, and 50°C. The lowest ratio of energy reduction for the HSTEE dryer ranged between 37% and 40% for lavender, marjoram, lemongrass, and thyme at 40 °C and 50°C.”
A correction has been made to Results and discussions, Paragraph 6. This sentence previously stated:
“The highest ratio of CO2 mitigated was noted for thyme, marjoram, and lemongrass samples with values ranging from 45% to 54% at 30, 40, and 50°C.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“The highest ratio of CO2 mitigated was noted for lavender, thyme, basil, lemongrass, and sage samples with values ranging from 45% to 54% at 30, and 50°C.”
A correction has been made to 4 Conclusion, Paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated:
“However, for sage, lavender, and basil at 30°C and 40°C, the lowest energy reduction ratio obtained using the HSTEE dryer varied from 37% to 40%.”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“However, for lavender, marjoram, lemongrass, and thyme at 40°C and 50°C, the lowest energy reduction ratio obtained using the HSTEE dryer varied from 37% to 40%.”
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.
