Correction. Impact of enzymatic and microbial bioprocessing on protein modification and nutritional properties of wheat bran

The following paragraphs were corrected along with Tables 3 and 5 (with corrections in italic) and Figure 3 (with corrections highlighted): Effect of Bioprocessing on Microbiological Quality, Acidicity, and Cell-Wall Degradation of Bran (Page 8688). In the chemically acidified and/or enzyme-added treatments, (End, E, and End/E), the addition of hydrolytic enzymes increased WE-pentosan and reducing sugar content by 2.7-3.5- A nd 19-28-fold, respectively, in comparison with those of ct. The highest amount of soluble carbohydrates were shown by treatment End/E (4.9% and 45.0 g/L of WE pentosan and reducing sugar, respectively), where the action of endogenous hydrolytic activity was supported by enzyme addition. The higher content of reducing sugar observed in the spontaneous fermentation Sp/E (26.2 g/L) confirms a slower growth/acidification process if compared to that of the controlled fermentation (Table 3). Impact of Bioprocessing on Protein Solubility and Proteolysis (Page 8688). The protein concentration in the water/salt-soluble extract as measured by Bradford assay was highest (11.3-11.7 mg/mL) in the samples in which only the activity of endogenous and/or added enzymes was involved (End, E, and End/E) with no significant difference among the samples. In the fermented samples, the use of the starters alone (St) showed the highest protein concentration (8.1 mg/mL), whereas no significant difference was shown by the treatments St/E and Sp/E, showing the lowest amount of protein (Table 3). Total Variance and Correlation between the Biochemical Components after Bioprocessing (Pages 8690 and 8691). Data collected from chemical characterization and (Table Presented) related to bioprocessing conditions were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA) and shown in Figure 3. Factor 1, representing 44.22% of the total variance, displayed a continuous variance between the samples while Factor 2 representing 39.58% of the total variance, clearly separated the untreated bran from the other samples.
