There was an error in the original publication [1]. A correction has been made to the Discussion section. The last paragraph of the Discussion section has been removed along with references 33–38 because they are not related to the text. References 33–38 have also been removed.

The deleted paragraph reads as follows:

“The pretreatment of various chemical, physical, physicochemical, and biological methods have been suggested to improve enzymatic hydrolysis; these techniques can be improved by the activities of extract [33–35]. In addition, the pretreatment and pyrolysis process require a high amount of external heat for (1) drying the washed biomass, (2) biomass torrefaction, and (3) biomass pyrolysis. Biomass drying and pyrolysis require a high amount of external heat for drying and torrefaction [36,37]. The plant also contains potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), and magnesium (Mg), which will significantly affect the behaviors of extract activity. It is essential to remove the metals by adopting different methods [38].”

The deleted references are the following:

Due to this correction, the order of some references has been adjusted accordingly.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
