Abstract Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin commonly found in many food products. Grape-derived food products represent the second largest source of daily OTA intake. As an alternative to chemical and physical processes for OTA detoxification, there is growing interest in the use of enzymatic treatments. The biodegradation of OTA by enzymes is a highly specific and environmentally friendly treatment. This study investigated the effect of grape and wine compounds on the OTA-degrading activity of m
