This Article contains a typographical error in the Results and Discussion section under subheading ‘Identification and suggested fragmentation of verbascoside’ where,

“The presence of molecular ion at m/z 623 (C29H35O15) for VER [M-H] structure whereas characteristic ion peak of the phenyl propanoid moiety recognized at m/z 161 [caffeic acid-H-H2O] was due to loss of H2O from caffeic acid at m/z 179 [C9H7O4] and the ion peak at m/z 461 represents [M-H-hexose sugar] due to loss of a hexose sugar (−162 amu)25–27

should read:

“The presence of molecular ion at m/z 623 (C29H35O15) for VER [M-H] structure whereas characteristic ion peak of the phenyl propanoid moiety recognized at m/z 161 [caffeic acid-H-H2O] was due to loss of H2O from caffeic acid at m/z 179 [C9H7O4] and the ion peak at m/z 461 represents [M-H-Caffeoyl moiety] due to loss of a Caffeoyl moiety (−162 amu)25–27

Additionally, in Figure 3, the label on the peak is incorrectly labelled as “[M-H-caffaeoyl-rhamnose]”. The correct Figure 3 appears below as Figure 1.
