摘要

Stable, non-hygroscopic salts of L(-)carnitine and alkanoyl L(-)carnitines with mucic acid of formula (I) are disclosed wherein the molar ratio between the carnitine moiety and mucic acid is 2:1. A process for producing the salts and solid orally administrable compositions containing same are also disclosed.
