Principle of invisible characters in lemon juice
Writing with lemon juice will make the words invisible, mainly because lemon juice contains organic matter, which will carbonize when heated and dehydrated.

Lemon juice is a kind of fruit juice, which is mainly used for drinking and flavoring. In addition to the above two functions, lemon juice has a special function, that is, writing on paper with lemon juice can make the words "invisible" after drying. Lemon juice contains vitamin B 1, vitamin B2, vitamin C and other nutrients, which can't be seen when written down.

Lemonade contains an ingredient called cellophane, which can reduce the ignition point of paper. As long as the paper is baked with fire or heated with iron, ironing board and hair dryer, the writing part of lemon juice will be burnt first and yellow words will appear. White vinegar, strong brine, milk and water can also be used to write secret letters.

Write a secret letter with strong salt water: dip a pen in some strong salt water and write down the words. When the concentrated brine dries, the water evaporates, leaving dry salt on it, forming a rough layer. At this time, using a pencil to understate, the pencil will leave traces on the rough salt surface, and the words will appear.
