Vinegar is an acid that lowers the pH of a solution. As egg whites are beaten, small air pockets are created and the proteins in egg whites restructure around these air pockets to form the foam mixture. Adding a small amount of acid to a meringue will help stabilize the mixture by tightening the protein structure.

Lemon juice, or cream of tartar are also commonly used and can be substituted if no white vinegar is available.
