Fractal Nature of Food Materials.
Through the concept of fractals, the new non-integer dimensional world is introduced. Experimental results to show this new world are taken from the author and his colleagues' own works. A few words are given also to the scaling law in the "Critical phenomena" in relation to sol-gel transition, and Chaos, both of which are closely related to the fractal.
