Enzymes are proteins and much of their function is driven by shape. This shape is determined by careful folding and twisting of long polypeptide chains (a series of amino acids joined by peptide bonds). The shape that an enzyme takes has much to do with the environment in which it was formed. One major environmental condition is pH. Vinegar is an acid and therefore has a low pH. By pickling food, we change the pH of the food and therefore the enzymes present may lose their shape (denature).
Enzymes are used as catalysts to drive certain biological processes. When they have the right shape, breaking apart sugars fats and even other proteins requires less energy. By pickling food and denaturing enzymes, the energy required to prerform these biological processes becomes too high in the absence of properly shaped enzymes. This will cause these processes to stop.

sir/madam, Vinegar is a mild acid but their antimicrobial action only referred from higher acidity (more than 6%). so vinegar especially organic nature is not confirm to clean the pond efffectively. N.Muthukkannan Research scholar Pollachi.
The chemical reaction that results when baking power is combined with vinegar is irreversible. Once combined, the two elements cannot be separated, and the action of acid on base cannot be reversed.
Vinegar has a density greater than that of the egg. So by Archimedes's principle, the egg floats on it. The reaction is due to the action of the acid in vinegar, acetic acid on the shell of the egg which contains CaCO3. The reaction is 2CH3COOH + CaCO3 ----------> (CH3COO)2Ca + H2O + CO2.
Vinegar is often included in cake and cookie batters to react with baking soda and start the chemical reaction needed to produce carbon dioxide and give those batters a lift as they bake.
