In the original publication of the article, in the subsection “Preparation FGEs”, sentences 3 and 5 have been published incorrectly. The sentence 3 should be “The sachets containing FGEs or placebo used in this study were produced by SK Bioland, Ltd., South Korea” and the sentence 5 should be “The solution was cooled at 37 °C and fermented with L. plantarum BL2 (2% w/w) in a fermenter for 36 h. After the cultivation, the solutions were sterilized for 30 min at 121 °C, cooled at 50 °C”.
