Why pickles do not spoil easily?
You mean canning or pickling? When you pickle something, you normally put vinegar in it. Some bacteria don't prefer to live in a slightly acidic environment (vinegar is a little acidic). So the vinegar will deter SOME bacteria from growing, which may prevent spoilage. When you can or pickle something, make sure to heat it very hot 165 degrees then close it TIGHT, immediately after you put it in the jar. This will prevent bacteria from living in the jar and spoiling the food! I would say that securely jaring and properly heating the food is the main reason why jarred or canned food items don't spoil.

Can i make mayo with mineral oil?
Mayo (mayonnaise) is basically an oil and vinegar salad dressing with eggs added to it. Since the oil and vinegar mixture will separate into its components, eggs are added to it as an emulsifier that will bind to the oil and vinegar and prevent it from separating. You may be able to make something that looks like and has the consistency of mayonnaise with mineral oil but it will not be mayonnaise. The oil used to make mayonnaise is a vegetable oil or otherwise edible fat that is a food nutrient that is digested and absorbed by the body. Mineral oil is not an edible oil. Mineral oil will mostly go right through the digestive system without being absorbed and is excreted. A common use of mineral oil is as an enema.
