The invention relates to a pyruvic acid and L-dopa co-production process and application. The process comprises the following steps: (1) obtaining a pyruvic acid feed liquid by fermentation with torulopsis glabrata, sterilizing the feed liquid by a ceramic membrane, and removing proteins, nucleic acids, pigments and other macromolecules by an ultrafiltration membrane; (2) adding a certain amount of catechol, ammonium acetate, EDTA, sodium sulfite and other compounds to a pyruvic acid concentrate according to the molar amount of pyruvic acid, adjusting the pH to 7.0-9.0, and preparing an enzyme-catalyzed substrate solution; (3) fermenting with tyrosine-phenol lyase genetic engineering bacteria to obtain a tyrosine-phenol lyase bacterial solution, centrifuging to collect thalli, breaking cells by a high-pressure homogenizer, centrifuging, and collecting an enzyme solution; and (4) adding a certain amount of substrate solution to the enzyme solution, stirring evenly, and at the temperature of 25 DEG C, carrying out seal shock reaction. The substrate solution is prepared from the pyruvic acid concentrate, and the concentration of catechol is controlled at 0-10 g/L by fed-batching the substrate solution, the product reaches 120 g/L or more, and fed-batch of the substrate solution is stopped; when the content of catechol in the reaction solution is less than 0.2 g/L, and the reactionis stopped.
