Number of diabetics in the world is ever increasing. According to data of WHO, it is estimated there are 366,210,100 people suffering from diabetes. Whereas in Indonesia, diabetics will reach 171,230,000 in 2030. In addition, Indonesia ranksfourth highest number of diabetics in the world after China, India, and the United States. Diabetics are advised to consume foods in low carbohydrates and high fiber. In Indonesia, rice is taken as staple food for the people, though, the rice has content of high carbohydrate and low fiber. On the other hand, a study of resistant starch (RS) turns out good effect for digestive health so it is beneficial for diabetics. Cooking of parched rice or processed rice undertaken at twice is a form of resistant starch. Cooking at twice means the cooked rice has been drained out and cooked again. Unfortunately the drying process takes long time, inefficient, and even unhygienic. Authors took the initiative to create an instrument that helps to dry faster and more rice. This instrument takes 60 minutes enough to dry it out. Its work principle is the rice p laced in a rotary tube while heating it with the results of evenly dried out. As a result the rice can be taken as diet for diabetics. People can still eat rice with the same amount but with lower glycemic index.
