In enzymology a flavanone 3-dioxygenase (EC 1.14.11.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactiona flavanone + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 a dihydroflavonol + succinate + CO2The 3 substrates of this enzyme are flavanone 2-oxoglutarate and O2 whereas its 3 products are dihydroflavonol succinate and CO2.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
