This study aimed to investigate the effect of coatings on the quality of ripened dry-cured hams during long-term storage, especially the profile of volatile compounds. The coatings were made up of 33% palm oil, 16.5% water, 39.7% cassava starch, 6.8% corn starch, 1.6% mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, 0.6% tert -butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), and 1.8% sodium carbonate. The results showed that the moisture content of the coated ham (48.93–49.59%) was higher than that of the noncoated ham (44.37%). The average peroxide value (POV) and b * value were lower in the coated hams than in the noncoated hams (5.52 and 8.99 meq/kg, respectively), and the sensory attributes of the coated hams had better overall acceptability scores. The changes in the contents of 39 volatile flavor compounds were evaluated through a multivariate statistical analysis, revealing that 20 identified compounds could be related to the decrease in fat pungent aroma, and most belonged to the long-chain benzene and carboxylic acid family. Meanwhile, 2-nonanone, nonanal, amyl alcohol, and 2-heptanone indicated that they could be used as markers to distinguish between the coated and noncoated groups.
