Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a xylitol oxidase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

xylitol + O₂ $\rightleftharpoons$ xylose + H₂O₂

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are xylitol and O₂, whereas its two products are xylose and H₂O₂.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is xylitol:oxygen oxidoreductase.
