Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-018-20602-y, published online 01 February 2018

This Article contains an error in the order of the Figures. Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were published as Figures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 1 respectively. The correct Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 appear below. The Figure legends are correct.

Figure 1.

Phase solubility diagrams for CVC (A) and LNL (B) in the presence of increasing concentrations of β-CD, as a function of temperature. Experiments performed in triplicate.

Figure 2.

(A) X-ray diffractograms for the cyclodextrin (black line) and for inclusion complexes containing carvacrol (red line) and linalool (blue line). (B) DSC thermograms for the cyclodextrin (black line) and the inclusion complexes containing carvacrol (red line) and linalool (blue line).

Figure 3.

Chemical shifts (ppm) and assignment of the hydrogens of β-CD, CVC, LNL, and the CVC:β-CD (1:1) and LNL:β-CD (1:1) inclusion complexes. Values of Δδ (δ_absence − δ_presence).

Figure 4.

(A) ¹H NMR spectra of β-CD, CVC, and the β-CD:CVC (1:1) inclusion complex. (B) ROESY spectra of the β-CD:CVC (1:1) inclusion complex.

Figure 5.

X-ray diffractogram (A), DSC thermogram (B), and TG/DTA curves (C) of the functionalized chitosan (CSgCD).
