Background: In Indonesia, people with degenerative diseases continue to increase. One way to eliminate this problem is to consume lots of foods rich in fiber and rich in antioxidants. One type of food that has the potential to be developed is functional analog rice. Aims: This research was conducted with the aim to determine the physico-chemical properties of functional analog rice from arrowroot starch and red dragon fruit extract and carrot extract. Materials and Methods: This study uses the Nested design. Factor I, a source of antioxidants, which consists of red dragon fruit extract and carrot extract, while Factor II is the concentration of fruit extract, which consists of 3 levels, namely 5%, 10%, and 15%. The analysis variables included analysis of carbohydrate content, water content, protein content, fat content, ash content, antioxidant activity, total carotene, color intensity, cooking time, and sensory test. Results: The results of this study showed that the source of antioxidants and the percentage of antioxidant sources had an effect on ash content, fat content, protein content, carbohydrate content, total calories, antioxidant activity, total carotene, rice brightness, redness, yellowish, cooking time, antioxidant activity, and total carotene rice. Analog rice with the addition of 15% dragon fruit extract has the highest antioxidant activity, which is equal to 14.09%, while the highest carotene content is obtained from analog rice with the addition of 15% carrot extract, which is equal to 0.11 mg/100 g. Conclusion: The conclusion is that the addition of carrot fruit extract and dragon fruit extract affects the functional properties of analog rice
