Abstract

Abstract:

L-Carnitine, also named vitamin BT, is an active compound found in animals and vegetal tissues, as well as
in microorganisms. L-carnitine plays an important role in fatty acid metabolism. In recent years, L-carnitine has been
increasingly used as a novel food additive and clinically applied in reducing blood fat, so that the demand for L-carnitine is
increasing in the worldwide market, and the development of manufacturing and detection methods is needed. Herein, the
physiological functions, biotransformation and detection methods of L-carnitine are summarized, and the future directions of
L-carnitine are put forward in this review.

Key words: L-carnitine, fatty acid metabolism, biotransformation, active isomer, detection

CLC Number:
