Vinegar eels, which are tiny nematodes (Caenorhabditis elegans), play a crucial role in the fermentation process of vinegar, particularly in the production of apple cider vinegar. They help break down the sugars present in the liquid, contributing to the overall fermentation and flavor development. Additionally, vinegar eels serve as a food source for various microorganisms, thus maintaining the ecological balance within the vinegar fermentation environment. Their presence can indicate a healthy fermentation process.
