Abstract
Correction for ‘Punica granatum (pomegranate) peel extract exerts potent antitumor and anti-metastasis activity in thyroid cancer’ by Yujue Li et al., RSC Adv., 2016, 6, 84523–84535.
The authors regret that the values provided for the content of punicalagin (PC) and ellagic acid (EA) in pomegranate peel extract (PoPx) were incorrect in the original article. The correct values are 83.9 mg g−1 for PC and 7.3 mg g−1 for EA. Two sentences should be revised described below.
In the Results section, subsection ‘The content and molecular weight of punicalagin and ellagic acid in PoPx’, the final sentence should be revised as follows:
“The results of the analysis reveal that PC accounts for 83.9 mg g−1 and EA accounts for 7.3 mg g−1 in PoPx.”
In the Discussion section on p. 84533, the second sentence of the last paragraph should be revised as follows:
“We firstly detected the content of PC and EA in PoPx, which was 83.9 mg g−1 and 7.3 mg g−1, respectively.”
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
