Abstract
Correction for ‘Understanding and controlling the release mechanism of Escherichia coli in double W1/O/W2 emulsion globules in the presence of NaCl in the W2 phase’ by Hani El Kadri et al., RSC Adv., 2015, 5, 105098–105110.
The authors regret that in the original article the second paragraph of Section 3.5 contains errors, which could lead to potential scientific misinterpretation of the text. Therefore, the sentence “There was no significant difference in the D (4, 3) with NaCl compared to without NaCl in W2.” should be replaced by “There was a significant difference in the D (4, 3) with NaCl compared to without NaCl in W2.”
The authors would also like to add that a number of figure citations in the original article are incorrect; these are listed with the appropriate changes below.
“Fig. 2a and b show snapshots taken after adding NaCl to W2 of W1/O/W2 emulsion made with 40% W1 and 1% Tween80 (see ESI, Video S1 and S2 respectively).” should instead include citations to Fig. 1a and b.
“Fig. 2c shows snapshots taken after adding NaCl to W2 of W1/O/W2 emulsion made with 20% W1 and 5% Tween80 (see ESI, Video S3).” should instead include a citation to Fig. 1c.
“The loss of cream layer thickness was significantly (P < 0.05) increased at 40% W1 and 1% Tween80 with NaCl compared to without NaCl in W2 (Fig. 7, 8, 9A and B) but was significantly similar over the varying concentrations of NaCl (Fig. 4).” should instead include citations to (Fig. 7, 9A and B) and then (Fig. 7) respectively.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
