In addition to color, texture of ‘laba’ garlic can also change. To study texture properties of ‘laba’ garlic and their change mechanisms during pickling, texture, ultrastructures, membrane permeability, water status, wall polysaccharides contents, and enzyme activities of garlics in three color states (white, green, and yellow) were studied. The results showed that the firmness, fracturability, membrane permeability, malonaldehyde, protopectin, and chelator‐soluble pectin contents, and cellulase and polygalacturonase activities of garlic decreased significantly (P < 0.05), while the water, cellulose, and water‐soluble pectin contents, and pectin methylesterase (PME) activity increased after pickling. In addition, the more content of free water and less content of immobilised water were contained in ‘laba’ garlic than in fresh garlic owing to wall degradation and water translocation, especially in yellow garlic. In summary, texture changes in ‘laba’ garlic are mainly dependent on pectin composition, water status, and PME activity.
