In enzymology a L-ascorbate oxidase (EC 1.10.3.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction2 L-ascorbate + O2 2 dehydroascorbate + 2 H2OThus the two substrates of this enzyme are L-ascorbate and O2 whereas its two products are dehydroascorbate and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on diphenols and related substances as donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-ascorbate:oxygen oxidoreductase.
