Standard solutions of palmitoyl carnitine could not be prepared in water because, even at below critical micelle concentrations, palmitoyl carnitine did not distribute uniformly in solutions. Evidence indicates that palmitoyl carnitine prefers to leave the bulk phase to segregate readily at the water/air and water/apolar interphases. Thus, in metabolic and kinetic studies, the actual concentration of long-chain acyl carnitines available for reactions at any instant can be drastically different from that calculated from the amounts added.
棕榈酰肉碱的标准溶液无法在水中配制，因为即使在低于临界胶束浓度时，棕榈酰肉碱在溶液中也不能均匀分布。有证据表明，棕榈酰肉碱倾向于离开主体相，易于在水/空气和水/非极性界面处分离。因此，在代谢和动力学研究中，任何时刻可用于反应的长链酰基肉碱的实际浓度可能与根据添加量计算出的浓度有很大差异。
