Sixty samples of waxy corn available in the experiment were collected from 4 regional parts of Thailand. All samples were planted at Rai Suwan, Nakorn Rajasima Province in the same period. Waxy Corns were harvested and forwarded to I.F.R.P.D. for examining the physical characteristics, major chemical constitutents and sensory acceptability. There were distinct differences in ears' weight, color, shape, structure and weight of corn kernels. The ranges of proximate compositions of waxy corn kernels were moisture, 52.31-66.26 percent, protein, 4.66-6.57 percent, lipid, 1.37-2.60 percent, ash, 0.64-1.08 percent and crude fiber, 1.44-2.84 percent. Results of sensory evaluation revealed that sample number 47 had the highest accept-ability for color, taste and texture characteristics.
