     Abstract This research was aimed to investigate how individual’s food neophobia level affected consumer expectations and perceptions of the sizes and shapes of rice. Neophilic (n=32) and neophobic (n=28) consumers based on food neophobia scale, were recruited. This group of consumer responded to rate the visual hedonics, feeling, context of uses and purchase intention of eight whole grain rice samples which had different sizes and shapes (N=8; thin/short, thin/long, medium long (Control), rounded/long, rounded medium long I and II, long and rounded/short grains). The results showed that both of medium long and long grains had highest mean score for all attributes. Then these whole grain rice samples were cooked and rated again. The results showed that cooked thin/short rice had highest mean score for all attributes. Comparison of purchase intention of both of medium long and thin/short rice before and after cooking for neophilic and neophobia group showed the opposite results, before cooking, most of consumer panels intended to purchase medium long grain more than thin/short grain but after cooking they intended to purchase cooked thin/short rice more than cooked medium long rice. This information may be benefit for rice cultivar development, food label and advertisement.
