Different assays were tested for the detection of proteolytic activity in both Pediococcus pentosaceus and Staphylococcus xylosus , two major microorganisms isolated from dry‐cured ham. Absence of endopeptidase activity was found even when using raw sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins. However, P. pentosaceus showed strong leucine and valine arylamidase activities while St. xylosus showed a very weak leucine arylamidase activity.
