After you eat and swallow micro-organisms start to feed on the food particals taht remain on your tongue and teeth. The acid is basically their waste, or the by-product of their feeding. the secrete the acid to dissolve the food particles which they then absorb. Thats why you should rince your mouth with mouth wash after eating.
