Abstract
With an attempt to know the stability of carnitine chloride in crystalline state, the crystals were allowed to stand in various conditions and it was carefully observed if any change in appearances, generation of odour, etc. took place, together with measuring the weight of the samples at intervals during the time. Futhermore, were determined the mp., the contents of trimethyl amine and crotonobetaine, and the acidity and also prepared in some cases the chloroaurate of the samples before and after being allowed to stand. All the results obtained followed that carnitine chloride, at least in high purity and in crystalline state, was stable and any change or decomposition was not found even after being allowed to stand in an atmosphere at 105℃ for 40 hours, or in a desicator for a year.
