Freezing is a way to preserve the quality of fruit for a long time. Nanguo pear stored at low temperature is prone to browning and lignification. In this study, freeze–thaw cycles were used to simulate the temperature fluctuation in the process, storage, and transportation. The texture properties were taken as the research focus to analyze the lignification phenomenon of Nanguo pear under freeze–thaw cycles. The results showed that freeze–thaw treatment significantly reduced the firmness and propectin content of Nanguo pear, increased the content of stone cells in the fruit, but also destroyed the size of stone cells in the fruit. However, with the increase of freezing–thawing cycles, the content of lignin, stone cell content, and PAL activity increased significantly, while the content of chlorogenic acid increased first and then decreased. These results are helpful to further understand the correlation between texture change with fruit firmness and formation mechanism of stone cells during freeze–thaw cycles of Nanguo pear.
