Rice is a popular food especially in our country. Excessive consumption of rice in a prolonged period of time can cause a person's excess calories that can lead to obesity. Therefore, it is necessary a treatment of rice so that rice has a low caloric content but can still maintain the satisfaction of eating and feeling full. One technique that can be done is by adding a solution of Chitosan into rice. This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of chitosan solution  in absorbing the calories contained in rice as well as knowing the influence of addition of Chitosan against organoleptikrice and knowing blood sugar levels generated by the addition of solution of Chitosan on rice.

This research was conducted by making rice modified Chitosan i.e.adding Chitosan on when cooking rice. Modified Chitosan rice which has been so tested and analyzed later include organoleptic, proximate analysis, analysis of calories with a bomb calorimeter, and bioassay analyses. Hedonik test of modified Chitosan rice was pointed out that the addition of solution of Chitosan with different concentrations did not give an impact on flavour, aroma, color, and texture of the rice. Grossenergy values obtained from modified Chitosan ranged from rice 4031-4133 cal/gram. Moisture content of rice modified Chitosan ranged from 70,01%-64,36. Modified Chitosan rice ash content ranged between 0.07-0.0125%. Modified Chitosan rice lipid levels ranged between 0,555-0.125%. Modified Chitosan rice proteinlevels ranged between 2.45-2.65%. Modified Chitosan rice carbohydrates levels ranging between 27,29-32.81%. Rice with addition of Chitosan solution 1% was food with the lowest IG . The best results in this research was the rice with the modification Chitosan concentration of 1%.
