What's happening is that the citric acid denatures some proteins. Heat also denatures proteins, so it's similar to cooking, but since no (or, at least, very very little) heat is involved, it's not exactly the same (it won't necessarily kill parasites or bacteria, for example, and only those portions that the citric acid penetrates to will be affected at all).
