Introduction L-Carnitine [( R )-3-hydroxy-4-trimethylaminobutyrate] is an essential compound in the intermediary metabolism of eukaryotes, which is involved in the transport of activated long-chain fatty acids and products of peroxisomal -oxidation into the mitochondria for subsequent completion of -oxidation (Vaz and Wanders, 2002)

Earlier research primarily emphasized total phenolic content and stability during processing (Rothwell et al., 2013), but recent studies have shifted toward evaluating bioaccessibility and bioavailability, which are more relevant to health outcomes (Crozier et al., 2010)
