In a process for the preparation of Na-β-alaninate from β-amino-propionitrile ready for the condensation with pantolactone to pantothenate the improvement of obtaining Na-β-alaninate as a solution in an alcohol, which improvement comprises carrying out the hydrolysis of β-amino-propionitrile in water and then making a solvent exchange from water to an alcohol, thus achieving that the final β-alaninate mixture contains side- or by-products in amounts only, which do not negatively influence the-pantothenate quality.
