Each of these solutions was subjected to an enzymatic hydrolysis reaction at 37° C. for 10 hours and the amount of L-carnitine formed thereby was determined. The results of the analysis of L-carnitine are shown on the graph of FIG. 1, which shows the optimum pH at about 8.0, wherein high enzymatic activities above 90% were reached within a wide pH range from 6.5 to 9.5.
